This year, to celebrate Black History Month, DW will share BLACK PRESS history facts that you need to know and share. Kicking this off with one of the greatest journalists of all time, we celebrate Ida B. Wells. After the lynching of three of her close friends—Thomas Moss, Calvin McDowell, and Henry Stewart—in Memphis in 1892, she launched a crusade against lynching, using the Black newspapers like The Memphis Free Speech and Headlight as a platform to reveal the truth about racial violence in the South. We celebrate Ida B. Wells today and every day by carrying on the legacy of telling stories for our community, unapologetically. Stay tuned tomorrow for your next Black Press Fact of The Day!…
