Ida B. Wells Quotes:
Ocupation: Journalist
Life: July 16, 1862 - March 25, 1931
Birthday: July 16
Death: March 25
I felt that one had better die fighting against injustice than to die like a dog or rat in a trap. I had already determined to sell my life as dearly as possible if attacked. I felt if I could take one lyncher with me, this would even up the score a little bit.
