The Red Record

<p><b>Ida B. Wells exposes a series of racially-motivated acts that disproportionately affect African Americans and is overwhelmingly ignored by a majority white criminal justice system. It's crucial documentation of a brutal practice that tormented a community.</b><p>In the late nineteenth century Ida B. Wells was a thriving journalist and civil rights activist. She used her writing and skills as an investigative reporter to reveal the horrifying reality that many African Americans experienced. <i>The Red Record: Tabulated Statistics and Alleged Causes of Lynching in the United States</i> is an explosive report on how mob violence and white supremacy had become the de facto law of the land. It created a culture of cruelty and anti-blackness that promoted public attacks including lynchings.<p>Ida B. Wells' work helped to initiate conversations about racism policy and policing. Shortly after the release of <i>The Red Record: Tabulated Statistics and Alleged Causes of Lynching in the United States</i> the first anti-lynching bill was introduced into Congress. Wells' efforts were critical for African Americans seeking justice in a historically racist system.<p>Since our inception in 2020 Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.
