Ida B. Wells Symposium - Panel III: Carrying the Torch

A powerhouse panel of women who embody Ida B. Wells's legacy of excellence, courage, and tenacity discuss their challenges and triumphs in the face of pervasive racism and sexism as they continue their fight for justice and equality and inspire the next generation of journalists to fight just as fiercely.

She was joined by Dorothy Gilliam, '61, the first female African American journalist hired by the Washington Post, Marquita Pool-Eckert, '69, retired senior producer of CBS Sunday Morning, and MSNBC national correspondent, Joy-Ann Reid.
