Remembering Ida B. Wells

Thursday marks the 90th anniversary of the death of Ida B. Wells, a woman with a storied past. A street is named after her in Chicago, and there's a 1990 commemorative stamp from the Postal Service.

Wells was a suffragette, a mom to four and a reporter in the late 1800s who survived death threats to expose a dark chapter in American history. Her work won her a posthumous Pulitzer Prize.

Last February, David Freudberg of the Public Radio series "Humankind" brought us her story. We share it again on this anniversary.
