A pair of New Jersey-based theater companies will be debuting online productions over the next week spotlighting important women in history:
♦ East Lynne Theater Company will present Stephanie Garrett reading “Lynching, Our National Crime,” a speech Ida B. Wells delivered at the National Negro Conference (forerunner to the NAACP) in New York City in the spring of 1909. The prerecorded performance will premiere 8 p.m. tomorrow, Thursday, Jan. 28, on ELTC’s YouTube channel and be available for viewing through Feb. 28.
Wells’ work began in the early 1890s, and by 1909, she was the most prominent anti-lynching campaigner in the United States. She died in 1931 and received a posthumous Pulitzer Prize in 2020 for her reporting.
