My African American literature students discussed Ida B. Wells-Barnett today. This doesn't seem like quite the time to be talking about lynching. But some of her advice was mighty relevant.
The very frequent inquiry made after my lectures by interested friends is 'What can I do to help the cause?' The answer always is, 'Tell the world the facts.'
There is so much good journalism right now that is trying to tell the facts. I salute those reporters. We need them.
