Ella Baker

Although we have come a long way, there is still inequality in the world for all types of minority groups. Ella Baker made a name for herself despite all the things pushing her back. As a woman in the Civil Rights movemnt Ella Baker was often overlooked. She worked alongside many famous Civil Rights activists and leaders like; W.E.B Du Bois and Martin Luther King Jr.  She had different believes than a lot of others involved in the movement. She strongly believed in giving power to the people and letting them make decisions rather than having someone in a position of power do all of the work. Even though the Civil Rights movement came with a lot of progress there is still work to be done. Ella Baker was a figure in the movement that made the inclusion of more people in the movement easier.

  1. I think that Ella Baker was really interesting to learn about. This is because she was so influential in continuing the Civil Rights Movement. However, I also think it is interesting how Dr. King didn't fully support her cause just because she was a woman.

  2. While I was watching the documentary during class, I felt so inspired by her work, and overcoming all the sexism. We have come a long way since her time but there is always more to do. I hope we can have someone else like her to lead for change.
