She showed an important path for journalism to help blacks
She pioneered the use of journalism to fight white supremacy and segregation. She documented lynching in the United States, showing that it was often used as a form of control and punishment for blacks who competed with whites, rather than being based on criminal acts by blacks, as was normally claimed by whites.
She was active in the women's rights movement and suffragette, establishing the organization of several notable women. With his impeccable oratory, Wells traveled the world speaking.
She was known for the scream
"The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them."
