This week, I give a glimpse of what activism in Jim Crow America was by discussing Ida B. Wells, W. E. B. Du Bois, Marcus Garvey, the NAACP, and the Harlem Renaissance. Anti-lynching campaigns, black consciousness, black nationalism, and cultural expression were forms of activism and resistance that paved the way for later years of movements for freedom in our country.
