What did ella baker do
The Ella Baker Center for Human Rights is named after a brilliant, Black hero of the civil rights Freedom Movement who inspired and guided emerging leaders. We build on her legacy by building the power of black, brown, and poor people to create solutions for one of the biggest drivers of injustice today: mass incarceration.
Solutions like Housing, Demanding Accountability, and creating spaces for Restorative Justice and Restorative Economics.
“The major job was getting people to understand that they had something within their power that they could use, and it could only be used if they understood what was happening and how group action could counter violence…”
&#; Ella Jo Baker
Ms. Baker played a key role in some of the most influential organizations of the time, including the NAACP, Martin Luther King&#;s Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.
Like her, we spark change by unlocking Ella baker pictures freedom.
