        Since 1851, obituaries in The New York Times have been dominated by white men. Now, we're including the stories of more women. We’ll be adding to this collection each week, as Overlooked becomes a regular feature in the obituaries section. http://nyti.ms/2DxqGQq pic.twitter.com/7u16cSyPd5

        In a country where journalism seems to increasingly looked upon with distrust and skepticism, it is important to look back at heroes like Wells who used her skills to make a difference and remember how key journalism is to society.

        Ida B. Wells Barnett was the subject of my senior project in journalism school. She's an incredible inspiration and defender of justice. Researching her taught me so much. She's a rarity, but i wish there were more like her. #shacklefreehealing #freedom

        She may have been overlooked by you. But many, many black families have history books in their homes that cover countless African Americans who are never mentioned in school history books or mainstream media.

        Overlooked? Who by? You don’t say. She is an American icon. Just because it’s news to the backward @nytimes doesn’t mean it’s news to the rest of us. Welcome to this #bravenewworld
