I love when we can make connections with our ancestors. This was an interesting approach to memoir/biography. Could have been a little tighter in how it threaded together but enjoyable.

Going into this book I had no idea that the author was Ida B. Wells's great-granddaughter! It was incredible to see Wells's legacy outlined with such clarity, and made me want to do more reading around her work. While frustrating that some of the justice that Ida B. Wells was fighting for in her time we are still fighting for now, I have hope that with historians like Michelle Duster we can learn and apply our education to working on getting to a better world.
