"I am elated to launch Atlanta Free Speech as an avenue to continue the legacy of my great-great grandmother, Ida B. Wells-Barnett. I have been blessed with another opportunity to serve my community and advocate for those who are under served and disproportionately affected because of their race, class, or gender. I look forward to making a positive difference in the community as we carry forth the vision of Miss Ida B. Wells," said Ferrell, Atlanta Free Speech Publisher.
The inaugural celebration will consist of editorial readings, recognition from premier national and local leaders, as well as an original reading of Ida B. Wells. Descendants who are actively involved in preserving Wells' legacy will also be in attendance along with featured speakers. Promoting economic development within the African-American community is a key philosophy that Atlanta Free Speech upholds; thus, the event will be held at 112 Mega-Plex formerly Crowe's Nest Mega-Plex,which is minority owned, from 5:00p.m. - 8:00p.m.
Ida B. Wells believed that there is no educator that can compare to the press. Therefore, educating, empowering and producing enlightening editorials and news to urban readers is the foundation of Atlanta Free Speech.
