What did ida
b. wells work to end through her muckraking articles?

Ida Wells was an African-American civil rights activist, who was mainly concerned with lynching of African Americans in the southern United States.

Wells was born in Mississippi. In 1884 she refused to leave a separate train compartment in Memphis. After the train company forced her to remove her from the coupe, she denounced the company. She won the trial, but in 1887 the supreme court of the state of Tennessee annulled the verdict.

From 1889 she was an editor of an anti-segregation sheet in Memphis. Her book about lynching, A Red Record, was published in 1895. Wells was present in 1909 when the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was established in New York.
