Abstract
- This paper focuses on Ida B. Wells-Barnett and her pamphlet, A Red Record. It examines the ideas Wells-Barnett expressed in A Red Record. This paper also addresses how Wells-Barnett used her empirical research in A Red Record, as a work of public sociology, to enhance public knowledge about lynching as a social problem. In addition, it discusses the political activism of Wells-Barnett both before and after the lynching of Thomas Moss, Calvin McDowell, and Henry Stewart. Furthermore, this paper identifies some implications of Wells-Barnett's A Red Record. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
