Ida Bell Wells-Barnett
(July 16, 1862 – March 25, 1931)
The play explores Wells as "a seminal figure in Post-Reconstruction America."[106]
Wells was played by Adilah Barnes in the 2004 film Iron Jawed Angels.
The film dramatizes a moment during the Woman Suffrage Parade of 1913 when Wells ignored instructions to march with the segregated parade units and crossed the lines to march with the other members of her Illinois chapter.
