Summary

The Red Record by Ida B. Wells-Barnett, first published in 1895, stands as one of the earliest and most courageous investigative reports on the brutal realities of lynching in America. Drawing on meticulously gathered statistics, documented cases, and firsthand accounts, Wells-Barnett exposes the systemic violence inflicted upon African Americans in the post-Reconstruction South. With unwavering resolve, she dismantles the myths used to justify lynchings, revealing the deeply entrenched racial prejudices and legal failures that allowed such atrocities to occur unchecked. Through her powerful voice and fearless activism, Wells-Barnett not only chronicled these horrors but ignited a movement for justice and civil rights that continues to resonate today. This audiobook presents her groundbreaking work with clarity and dignity, offering modern listeners a sobering but essential historical record.
