Conscience and Courage by Tracy Knauss

When we think about the many wrongs needing righting in America today, the name Ida B. Wells comes to mind. If she were still alive, she'd be leading protests against our Supreme Court's decisions favoring corporations over "we the people." She'd be marching against income inequality and voter suppression. Ms. Wells was a person of courage, compassion and conscience. She had the conviction to face her tormentors and call them out. She was a person of the people, the 99%. She opposed acts of violence against minorities. And she risked her life exposing such hatred. Today, more than ever, we need people like her to stand up against the corporate bullies and the Supreme Court fascists who threaten the very foundation of our civilization.
