Ella Josephine Baker (December 13, 1903 – December 13, 1986) was an African-American civil rights and human rights activist. She was a largely behind-the-scenes organizer whose career spanned over five decades.

She mentored many emerging activists such as Diane Nash, Stokely Carmichael, Rosa Parks, and Bob Moses. She was a critic of professionalized, charismatic leadership and a promoter of grassroots organizing and radical democracy.

She has been called;

"One of the most important African American leaders of the twentieth century and perhaps the most influential woman in the civil rights movement."

We need a multipronged approach to activism. Listen to Ella Baker as she lays out strategies we need to use today.

There is nothing new under the Sun! This is your grandmothers Civil Rights Movement, because the struggle continues!
