À propos de cet audio
We're going to learn about two soldiers in the battle for civil rights and justice.
First...Ida B. Wells was an African American journalist, educator, and civil rights activist. Born into slavery in Mississippi, she became a fearless investigative journalist and co-owner of a newspaper, where she exposed the horrors of lynching in the late 19th century, making her a key figure in the civil rights, freedom of the press, and women's suffrage movements. Wells was also a founder of the NAACP.
William H. Hastie was a trailblazing African American attorney. Born in Tennessee, Hastie graduated from the Harvard Law School and became the first African American federal judge in 1937. He also served as the first Black governor of the U.S. Virgin Islands. Throughout his career, Hastie fought tirelessly against racial discrimination in the legal system, leaving a profound impact on both judiciary and civil rights law. Ida B. Wells and William H. Hastie, were both profiled on Destination Freedom in 1949.
