owners of a grocery store, have their store invaded, and shoot and injure the (white)
invaders in self-defense. The three co-owners are arrested and jailed, but a lynch
mob drags the men out of jail and kills them. In response, Wells wrote an article in the "Free
Speech and Headlight," urging all her black readers to leave Memphis

3. Wells-Barnett advocated for both the rights of women and the rights of the People. She was
fighting for the Black women's struggle and suffrage. With all that's contrary to probability, she
was heavy and awkward. As in the couch train, she did not allow the whites to be divided. She
also fought against the white people, who helped but disqualified them for voting. Wells-Barnett's
influence led the government to write the constitution that allowed women to vote regardless of
their color.

4. A single person can change history or even the future because of his or her influence on the
people of the past and the idea or thought that people believe or, in other words, gain intellectual
awareness of it. It can also have an effect on history if it is thus documented in such a way that it
cannot be ignored as an significant event in history’s creation. This can also change the way
people view this subject, and will look away from it or be investigating it even more closely.

1. Their advocacies yearned for the betterment and end to the suffering of people.
2. Ida B. Wells-Baenett and Maria Zepetis founded organizations that seek to change the horrible
environments that people suffered in that the society and poverty have given them.
