Baker was an essential activist during
the civil rights movement. She was a
field secretary and branch director
for the NAACP and co-founded an
organization that raised money to
fight Jim Crow laws. Additionally,
Baker was a key organizer for Martin
Luther King Jr.'s Southern Christian
Leadership Conference. But what was
perhaps her biggest contribution to
the movement was the Student
Nonviolent Coordinating Committee
which prioritized nonviolent protest,
assisted in organizing the 1961
Freedom Rides, and aided in
registering Black voters. The Ella
Baker Center for Human Rights
exists today to carry on her legacy.
