Mob Rule in New Orleans

Mob Rule in New Orleans is Ida B. Wells-Barnett’s searing investigative account of the 1900 lynching of Robert Charles and the violent wave of racial terror that swept across New Orleans in its aftermath. With unflinching clarity and journalistic precision, Wells exposes how police brutality, white mob violence, and institutional complicity united to create a deadly storm targeting the Black community.

Through firsthand reports, press analysis, and documented testimony, Wells dismantles the lies used to justify racist violence and shines a light on the horrifying consequences of state-sanctioned hate. This is not only a chronicle of one man's tragic fate—it is a landmark civil rights document and a bold act of truth-telling against a nation’s willful blindness.

Narrated with solemn respect and emotional gravity by Myriam Berger, this edition honors Wells’ legacy as a fearless crusader for justice and a foundational voice in America’s long struggle for civil rights.

A historic warning.

A record of courage.

A voice that still demands to be heard.
