Ida B. 'n the Lynching Tree by Carolyn Nur Wistrand will be produced for the Savannah Black Heritage Festival by Savannah State University and Collective Face Theatre Ensemble February 16-20, 2022 at Savannah State University, Savannah, Georgia.
The play is the origin story of Miss Ida B. Wells and the brutal murders of three African American men in Memphis, Tennessee which led to her campaign in investigative journalism to bring the horrors of lynching in the Jim Crow South into the national consciousness.
