MLK Day 2022 - My Writing Hero Ida B. Wells

On this day, MLK Day 2022, I celebrate my writing hero Ida B. Wells (https://www.nps.gov/people/idabwells.htm)

She wrote to promote social change.

She wrote to punish injustice.

She wrote with a pen that was mightier than the sword.

She wrote.

I reach out my open hand, receive her courageous pen, and keep on writing.
 
Thank you Ida B. Wells.

Your brilliant storytelling made the world a little more human and led it a step forward toward the beloved community some of us are trying to build.
