For Ida Wells page: This is my first comment. In paragraph three, under 'Willard Controversy', it says, "In response, Willard and her supporter Lady Somerset attempted to use their influence to keep Wells' comments at lectures out of the press. Wells said that, despite Willard's having abolitionist forebears and black friends, she would allow black women to join the WCTU's segregated southern branches.[citation needed]"

I think it probably should be ... despite Willard's having abolitionist forebears and black friends, she would not allow black women to join the WCTU's segregated southern branches..." [note added - not]

The original didn't make sense - but I'm not familiar with Willard or Wells enough to be certain of this. Perhaps someone with better knowledge can fix - if needed.
