(BUSINESS.) [WELLS-BARNETT, IDA B.] Chicago and Northern District Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. Two Directories for 1928-29 and 1939-40. 8vo and 12mo, original wrappers, some wear and discoloration; first item with heavy crease in the center; notes and numbers in pencil here and there. Chicago, 1928, 1939
The earlier of these two directories lists Ida Wells-Barnett in charge of "citizenship," giving her address and phone number. Ida Bell Wells-Barnett (1862-1931) anti-lynching reformer and journalist, left a rich legacy of activism. Even while in bad health in the late 1920s, she remained active in the Cook County League of Women's Clubs, helping to establish a Chicago branch of the E. Philip Randolph's Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. In 1930, a year before her death, Wells ran as an independent for the state senate seat of Illinois.
