Ida B. Wells was one of the most influential women in American history—yet her name is rarely taught. This presentation shines a spotlight on her groundbreaking journalism, anti-lynching activism, suffrage leadership, and connection to Chicago’s South Side. From the creation of the Alpha Suffrage Club to the story of the Ida B. Wells Homes and the long-overdue naming of Ida B. Wells Drive, we’ll explore how one woman fought for justice on every front—and paid the price for it. Through storytelling, visuals, and little-known facts, this program brings Ida’s legacy into the present with warmth, power, and just a little sparkle. Come ready to learn, reflect, and be inspired.

Presented by Letra Bledsoe who is a dynamic and creative educator, licensed in Career and Technical Education, with a rich and varied professional background.
