Abstract:This article examines the development of Ida B. Wells-Barnett’s radical activism by focusing on her formative years in Holly Springs, Mississippi. It elaborates the Black political culture, places, people, and moments in Reconstruction-era Mississippi that contributed to her cognizance of racial, political, economic, and women’s issues. To understand Wells-Barnett as a national figure is to understand the socio-political contexts of her birthplace of Holly Springs in Marshall County; the North Mississippi region; and the state environs that shaped her. She was a private witness to her nuclear family’s transition from slavery to freedom and a public participant in the Black Marshall County community’s efforts to pursue political and economic equity despite economic exploitation and political repression. This article brings to the surface the emergence of a community of assertive Black women whose actions had lifelong impacts on Wells-Barnett. This article also considers contemporary (mis)understandings of Black womanhood through efforts to commemorate Wells-Barnett on the University of Mississippi campus and the authors’ development of an Ida B. Wells-Barnett Commemorative tour in Marshall County.

怀念艾达，怀念艾达：艾达 B. 威尔斯-巴内特与重建时代密西西比州的黑人政治文化

摘要：本文通过关注艾达·B·威尔斯-巴内特在密西西比州霍莉斯普林斯的成长岁月，考察了她激进激进主义的发展。它详细阐述了重建时期密西西比州的黑人政治文化、地点、人物和时刻，这些都促成了她对种族、政治、经济和妇女问题的认识。将 Wells-Barnett 理解为全国性人物，就是了解她出生地马歇尔县霍利斯普林斯的社会政治背景；北密西西比地区；以及塑造她的州环境。她是她的核心家庭从奴隶制向自由转变的私人见证者，也是布莱克马歇尔县社区不顾经济剥削和政治压迫而努力追求政治和经济公平的公众参与者。这篇文章揭示了一个自信的黑人女性社区的出现，她们的行为对 Wells-Barnett 产生了终生影响。本文还通过在密西西比大学校园纪念 Wells-Barnett 的努力以及作者在马歇尔县开展的 Ida B. Wells-Barnett 纪念之旅，探讨了当代对黑人女性的（错误）理解。
