Kevin G. Ritz, U.S. attorney for the Western District of Tennessee, recently issued a video message in honor of Black History Month saying this “is a time to reflect on the people who have taken a stand for civil rights in our nation." One of those people, he continues, is “Ida B. Wells … the daughter of formerly enslaved parents, [who] became a leader for racial justice and gender equality here in Memphis. Her contributions help to shape the work my team and I do every day. Please join me in celebrating Black History Month and the countless achievements of Black Americans.”
