Overview

Ella Baker was always organizing. Name many of the famous leaders of the struggle for African-American rights--Martin Luther King, Jr., Ralph Abernathy, Stokely Carmichael, Rosa Parks--and behind them, behind the scenes, was Ella Baker--organizing and advising, sometimes arguing, always helping, never giving up.
