SUMMARY:Ida B. Wells: The Mother of the American Human Rights Movement
DESCRIPTION:The Columbus-Lowndes Public Library welcomes Dr. C. Sade Turnipseed for a presentation on the life and legacy of Ida B. Wells at noon on Tuesday\, January 27. Dr. Turnipseed is an Assistant Professor of History at Jackson State University and has spent much of her career highlighting Black history in the Delta\, from her work with the Cultural Arts program and the B.B.

As a member of the Mississippi Humanities Council Speakers Bureau\, Dr. Turnipseed frequently speaks about the legacy of Ida B. Wells-Barnett to audiences across the state.

The library is open from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday – Thursday and from  9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
