Description
Ida B. Wells (1862–1931) was a pioneering journalist, educator, and civil rights activist whose work placed her at the forefront of the struggle for racial and gender justice. Through her investigative journalism, she exposed the brutality of lynching in America and became an international voice for truth and equality. As a co-founder of the NAACP and an unwavering advocate for women’s rights, her legacy continues to inspire.
This desktop bust captures Wells’s image in bonded marble with a hand-applied bronze finish. Subtle variations in tone highlight its sculptural detail, making each piece unique.
