A generation before the great #IdaBWells, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper spoke for Black women in a fierce debate that included Frederick Douglass, ElizCadyStanton & Susan B Anthony. #CiteBlackWomen #Kwanzaa

It’s the 2nd Day of #Kwanzaa! Today we honor Black women who represent #Kujichagulia—Self Determination—like Ida B. Wells. Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, Wells’s anti-lynching campaign fiercely defended Black people and rights. Who do you honor? #CiteBlackWomen pic.twitter.com/5r8heM8AT9

@citeblackwomen 1866: “While there exists this brutal element in society which tramples upon the feeble and treads down the weak, I tell you that if there is any class of people who need to be lifted out of their airy nothings and selfishness, it is the white women of America.” 🙏@marthasjones_
