Timeline (Ida B. Wells)
Description
In the first column of printed stories about half way down he column, there is a mention of Ida B. Wells and her reports on lynching that she had published to shine a bright light on the horrific events so they could no longer be ignored. However, the New South editor and publisher used her reports to pin blame on the northern states and claim that they try to report events in the south as much worse than they actually were (even though they were really as bad as reported).
