BEFORE ROSA PARKS, THERE WAS IDA B. WELLS 👉🏾 These stories connect:

At just 22 years old, Ida B. Wells sued a railroad company in 1884 after being forcibly removed from a train.

That was 71 years before the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

Resistance didn’t begin when cameras arrived.
It began when dignity was challenged.

THEY DISGUISED THEIR CRIMES AS PATRIOTISM.👉🏾SEE HOW THIS CITY SURVIVED:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40Ld3...

During the 1919 attacks, white mobs raided Black neighborhoods across Washington, D.C.

To hide their crimes, they stole military uniforms and carried out assaults in disguise.
History later called them “patriots.”

When D.C. police refused to protect Black families, Black soldiers home from the Great War did it themselves.

For Tulsa’s Greenwood alone, historians estimate that Black residents lost the equivalent of roughly 20–30 million dollars in today’s money just from documented insurance claims and real-estate losses that were filed and then mostly denied; more comprehensive reconstructions of the destruction put direct property damage at over 200 million dollars in current value, not even counting the stolen future of businesses, jobs, and inherited wealth. And Tulsa was not unique – historians have documented dozens of Black communities attacked, burned, flooded, or condemned out of existence across the country in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, from Wilmington and Elaine to Rosewood and beyond, forming a nationwide pattern of violently stripping Black people of land and wealth.

When panic hit Memphis in 1907, Robert Reed Church placed his own cash in the bank windows to stop a run — and it worked.

No bailout.
No permission.
Just confidence strong enough to calm a system built to fail him.
