Lynchings in the United States by State

African American Reformers Ida B. Wells · journalist that used her newspaper Free Speech to protest against anti-black violence Ida B. Wells-Barnett, a black journalist, was shocked when three of her friends in Memphis, Tennessee were lynched for opening a grocery that competed with a white-owned store. Outraged, Wells-Barnett began a global anti-lynching campaign that raised awareness of the American injustice.

African American Reformers Ida B. Wells: Quotations · Wells urged African Americans to protest the lynching of three African Americans in Memphis, TN. Ida B. Wells: Quotations “OUR country's national crime is lynching. It is not the creature of an hour, the sudden outburst of uncontrolled fury, or the unspeakable brutality of an insane mob.” “Somebody must show that the Afro-American race is more sinned against than sinning, and it seems to have fallen upon me to do so.” "One had better die fighting against injustice than to die like a dog or a rat caught in a trap"

· Wells also urged African Americans to stop riding streetcars or shopping in white stores. In 1884, Wells was asked to leave the ladies' car and sit in the colored train car. She refused because that car was filled with smokers. Train officials physically forced her to leave; she retaliated but was pushed off the train at the next train stop and was met by a crowd of applauding whites. She engaged in legal recourse and sued the Chesapeake, Ohio and Southwestern Railroad. Although she won in the local court, the Tennessee Supreme Court reversed the decision. During this ordeal, Wells wrote and published her first journalistic piece in the Living Way.

African American Reformers Booker T. Washington · a former slave that taught himself how to read · founded the Tuskegee Institute, still a leading black college today

Booker T. Washington · wrote about his success in his autobiography Up From Slavery. * He stressed living in harmony with whites. * He believed that African Americans needed to learn trades and earn a decent income in order to achieve political and social equality.

African American Reformers W.E.B. DuBois · African American professor, author and public speaker * DuBois disagreed with Booker T. Washington’s acceptance of segregation.

Jane Addams Lincoln Steffens W.E.B. DuBois · DuBois formed the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1909 with Jane Addams and Lincoln Steffens. Jane Addams Lincoln Steffens W.E.B. DuBois

DuBois v. Washington “When Mr. Washington apologizes for injustice, he does not rightly value the privilege and duty of voting, belittles the emasculating effects of caste distinctions, and opposes the higher training and ambition of our brighter minds…we must unceasingly and firmly oppose him.” – W.E.B. DuBois “The wisest among my race understand that the agitation of questions of social equality is the extremist folly, and that progress in the enjoyment of all the privileges that will come to us must be the result of severe and constant struggle rather than of artificial forcing.” - Booker T. Washington
