Activities focus on contributions of Ida B. Wells Barnett

The first Social Justice Weekend, coinciding with the Ida B. Wells Barnett Birthday Celebration, focused entirely on the world renown activist’s contributions to the Civil Rights and Human Rights movements.

Hilda Williams, assistant professor of English at Rust College, provided a sweeping summary of part of Wells’ autobiography, “Crusade for Justice.”

Social Justice Weekend’s main objective was to cover the primary contributions of Ida B. Wells, who worked for equal opportunity, Williams said.
