Thanks to Ida B. Wells-Barnett I enjoy having the ability to have black and white classmates. If she hadn't spoken out against the injustice of segregation and lynching I would never have been able to learn all I have from some of my friends because they wouldn't be here with me. Also with out her some inventions might never had been made or recognized because of the color of the inventor's skin.
