Ida B. Wells and Assata Shakur were born on July 16, decades apart. Wells became a pioneering investigative journalist and anti-lynching crusader, while Shakur became an enduring and polarizing symbol of Black liberation. Their work influenced generations of activists, artists and civil rights leaders. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com
