Wells began an investigation to find the truth about the situation where black men were being lynched due to sexual violence against white women. Wells attended a conference in New York and was hired by a black newspaper. She asked to give her testimony to the black women at the club, where she expressed her idea about lynching. He believed that lynching kept blacks down and kept whites up. Wells built a new strategy to obtain justice by going to England and met important people there. He also created an anti-lynching organization. And in two decades there have been no lynchings in Memphis. Wells settled in Chicago and continued to write, especially about sexism and racism. Wells married the founder of Chicago's first black newspaper and they had children. Since he had to take care of his family, he had a divided task and could not concentrate only on writing. He founded and built a new organization of colored people (NAACP) based on the strategy of lynching. In her sixties she returned to the South. In the South prison, she talked to some blacks about what happened there. He also gave them the courage to be free and alive, before returning to Chicago. In his last life he wrote the autobiography so that young people would know what happened to their grandparents and parents during Reconstruction
