Journalist. Suffragist. Antilynching crusader. In 1862, Ida B. Wells was born enslaved in Holly Springs, Mississippi. In 2020, she won a Posthumous Pulitzer Prize.

Ida B. the Queen tells the awe-inspiring story of a pioneering woman who was often overlooked and underestimated—a woman who refused to exit a train car meant for white passengers; a woman brought to light the horrors of lynching in America; a woman who co-founded the NAACP. Written by Wells’s great-granddaughter Michelle Duster, this ‘warm remembrance of a civil rights icon’ (Kirkus Reviews) is a unique visual celebration of Wells’s life, and of the Black experience.

Earlier this year, we made the tough decision to close the restaurant temporarily as we navigate through these challenging times. We are happy to announce that Ida B’s Table is now accepting bookings for catered events, both on and off-premise. We look forward to hearing from you. As always, it is our privilege to serve you.

Respected Ida B’s Table Guests and Affiliates,

Many of you have been with us from day one. You have experienced the peaks and valleys in our pursuit of excellence. Unfortunately, we must take an unpopular decision regarding the future of Ida B’s Table. Effective today, Ida B’s Table has made the tough decision to close our doors. We want to extend a heartfelt “Thank you” to our guests and neighbors in the community. It has been extremely humbling to see so many embrace the concept of Ida B’s Table. It has been an honor to serve each of you.

To our talented team, thank you for your hard work and dedication. Without you, Ida B’s Table would not be the great place it is. It has been a privilege to work alongside of each of you.

Thank you!

The Ida B’s Table Restaurant Board
