Ida B. Wells was a journalist, educator, and early Civil Rights leader, making her mark in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. Born into slavery (and freed by the Emancipation Proclamation at only a few months’ age), she went on to co-own a newspaper for which she also wrote, investigating and spotlighting racial violence and segregation. We will focus on Wells’ life and work during our Saturday Webinar on 6 FEB 21, held from 11am ET – 12:15 ET. This free program is open to anyone, and will be conducted via Zoom. All participants will be able to ask questions of our panelists via the QnA function of Zoom, and all attendees will receive a certificate for two hours of continuing education time.

Our panelists for the program will be:

• Dr. Chris Burkett, Ashland University
• Dr. David Krugler, University of Wisconsin-Platteville
• Dr. Natalie Taylor, Skidmore College
