stripe Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Someone appeared to get some strange results when searching for Ida B Wells. Which made us wonder, what are people getting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucyStoner Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 So what's the wild Ida B Wells site?? I wanna know too! Seriously, what could be considered crazy or unacceptable about her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I wanna know too! Seriously, what could be considered crazy or unacceptable about her? Dunno, I chose to tread lightly on that question. Some of her writing was very provocative in an in-your-face manner, and she wasn't a woman who would meet you on middle ground. The more in read about her, the more I'm in awe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
