Ida B. Wells-Barnett is a sterling example for all incarcerated journalists
December 31, 2020
Ida B. Wells-Barnett, born into slavery in Holly Springs, Miss., in 1862, and 31 in this portrait, was a ferocious advocate against anti-Black racism and post-slavery white supremacy, becoming known as “Princess of the Press” for her work with several Black-owned newspapers and her refusal to stay silent. A teacher, freedom fighter and author, Ida resisted slavery and anti-Black racism “not just with her words, but with her teeth.”

July 16, 1862. That’s the day Ida B. Wells-Barnett was born in Holly Springs, Miss.

Ida and her family were born into bondage.

The Center for Research on Vermont recently asked its members to share the titles of high impact Vermont books. The enthusiastic responses ranged from a single title to long lists. Some members simply submitted titles, while others provided extensive notes to explain why the titles are important. Some members reached back through the decades, and others offered hot-off-the-press publications.
Prudence Doherty, the Public Services Librarian at the Silver Special Collections Library at UVM stepped in to curate the list, organizing the titles into categories. The extraordinarily detailed lists from Michael Sherman, Gary Shattuck, Kevin Graffagnino and Bruce Post can be found here. Tyler Resch alerted us to The Fourteenth State, his collection of short essays on selected Vermont books.
