"In Passionate for Justice, we find a compass that points us to the future, where we can each give voice and action to justice, equity, and life-giving community. Ida Wells would have had it no other way." -From the Foreword by Stacey Abrams, 2018 Democratic Nominee for Governor of Georgia
A resource for social justice and resilience, Wells was a powerful churchwoman and witness for justice and equity from 1878-1931. Born enslaved, her witness flowed through the struggles for justice in her lifetime, especially in the intersections of African Americans, women, and those who were poor. Her life is a profound witness for faith-based work when the forces of injustice stand in opposition to progress.
