Ida B Wells-Barnett - 19th century Bad Ass, born July 16th, 1862

This little woman spoke up loudly (in a newspaper too) about social injustice at a time when simply "BWB" (breathing-while-Black) would most definitely get you killed without any repercussions on the transgressor's part. Investigative Journalist. Suffragette. Newspaper Editor. Bad Ass. Yes. Happy Birthday, Mrs Barnett!
