"The Red Record" is r a collection of pamphlets and essays authored by Ida B. Wells. The full title of the work is "The Red Record: Tabulated Statistics and Alleged Causes of Lynching in the United States." Ida B. Wells was a prominent African American journalist, newspaper editor, suffragist, and civil rights activist who lived from 1862 to 1931. "The Red Record" is one of her most influential and groundbreaking works, and it was published in 1895.
Summary of "The Red Record" by Ida B. Wells:
"The Red Record" is a powerful and searing indictment of the pervasive and brutal practice of lynching in the United States, particularly in the late 19th century. It is divided into two parts:
1. Part I: Lynching Statistics
In the first part of the book, Ida B. Wells compiles and presents detailed statistics on lynching incidents in the United States. She uses comprehensive data and evidence to debunk the common justification for lynching, which was that it was a response to alleged sexual assaults by black men on white women. Wells reveals that most lynching victims were African Americans, and the actual reasons for lynching often had nothing to do with sexual assault. She meticulously exposes the racial and economic motivations behind these acts of violence, which were often used as tools of intimidation and control to maintain white supremacy.
2. Part II: The Case of Alexander Moss
In the second part of the book, Wells provides a specific case study of the lynching of Alexander Moss, a black man falsely accused of rape in Memphis, Tennessee. Wells had a personal connection to this case, as she was a close friend of Moss and his family. She uses Moss's tragic story to illustrate the horrors of lynching and to emphasize the innocent lives lost and the injustice perpetuated by this form of extrajudicial violence.
