Ida B Wells Barnett was an investigative journalist, civil rights, and women's rights activist. She concentrated most of her work on antilynching. She spoke internationally about it. She was met with personal attacks and criticism, even from her fellow activist.

She did not give doing what she felt was right. She gave a voice to the voiceless and persevered through hardship. That is why she is in the spotlight of the week.
