Southern Horrors

Confront the brutal truths of American history with Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in All Its Phases by Ida B. Wells, a fearless journalist, civil rights activist, and pioneering voice for racial justice. First published in 1892, this groundbreaking work exposes the horrific reality of lynching in the post-Reconstruction American South and dismantles the false narratives used to justify racial violence.

With powerful evidence, passionate prose, and unwavering courage, Wells challenges systemic racism and calls for national accountability. Southern Horrors is not only a foundational text in African American history and journalism — it remains a vital work for understanding structural injustice and the ongoing fight for human rights.
