F-Word: What if Ida B Wells Depended on Facebook? - a podcast by Laura Flanders

"After Ida B. Wells published a column on May 21, 1892, denouncing “the old threadbare lie,” that lynching was used to “protect white womanhood,” a white mob marched to her office in Memphis, destroyed her presses and left a warning they would kill Wells if she tried to publish her newspaper again.That lie was the most heard, most accepted, most familiar, trusted, conventional, common fact. It’s taken the nation a century to wise up. We don't have that long and we've no reason to repeat."
