Southern Horrors: Lynch Law in All Its Phases by Ida B. Wells-Barnett is a groundbreaking pamphlet published in 1892 that exposes the brutal realities of lynching in the American South. In this work, Wells-Barnett challenges the common justifications for lynching, particularly the false accusations of rape against Black men, and highlights its use as a tool of racial terror and social control. Her investigative journalism and fearless advocacy for justice made her a leading voice in the anti-lynching movement and a pioneer in civil rights activism.
