Ida B. Wells-Barnett 
The Red Record [EPUB ebook] 

The Red Record by Ida B. Wells-Barnett is a seminal work of investigative journalism and anti-lynching activism that has had a lasting impact on the civil rights movement in the United States. It was one of the first comprehensive documents to expose the frequency of lynchings, as well as their devastating effects on Black communities. The text itself provides an extensive historical account of this form of racial violence, as well as a powerful counterargument against racism and racial subjugation.
