Ida B. Wells was a notable African American journalist, editor, and activist. She is best recognized for her anti‐lynching campaigns after her investigative journalism led her into collecting evidence of lynching across the South of the United States in the late 1890s. Her most famous writings are on lynching accounts that she published in a pamphlet titled Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in All of Its Phases , a personal account of what she witnessed in the South, A Red Record, and an account of the lynching murder of Robert Charles which she published under the title Mob Rule in New Orleans .
