Talk:Ferdinand L. Barnett (Omaha)

Clarification on Ida Wells
So this Ferdinand L. Barnett was not the same Ferdinand Lee Barnett who was married to Ida Wells? Did Ida Wells not write for this Ferdinand L. Barnett's newspaper then? • Freechild |  talk to me 18:01, 27 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Correct, two different people, both journalists, cousins, different spouces, different birthdates, etc. The Alfreda Duster WPA interview (Alfreda Duster (1904-1983), Chicago, Illinois. Interviewed by: Marcia McAdoo Greenlee, March 8 and 9, 1978. p 20 Accessed March 7, 2016 at http://pds.lib.harvard.edu/pds/view/45168262?n=32&printThumbnails=no) covers the family a bit on page 20 (the citation and link takes you there). I was confused at first, too. Smmurphy(Talk) 00:31, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
