Former slave, investigative journalist, early civil rights leader and Pulitzer Prize honoree, Ida B. Wells is a role model for all of us. Two of her many famous quotes are:
“The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them.”
“Virtue knows no color line.”
Today’s haiku: In Honor of Ida B. Wells
Step up, speak out, do
what must be done, for justice
requires persistence
