Ella Baker was a seminal figure in the Civil Rights movement. Among her many accomplishments was her role in founding the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) which organized the Freedom Summer drive in 1964 to register southern blacks to vote. Her name graces the
Ella Baker Center in Oakland which works for social justice issues and green jobs in the Bay Area. For other E posts, visit
