'A warm, tender, and incisive portrait of an unheralded mover in this century's struggle for the rights of African Americans, women, local people, and especially the young.' — Marian Wright Edelman President, The Children's Defense Fund 'Pathbreaking. By illuminating the little-known story of how profoundly Ella Baker influenced the most radical activists of the era, Grant's graceful portrayal reveals Miss Baker's transformative impact on recent history.' — Kathleen Cleaver 'Definitive biography of Ella Baker. Those who knew Miss Baker will be grateful to find her walking again through these pages, hat and heart firmly in place. Those who did not will be surprised to discover how crucial she was to U.S. history.' — Gloria Steinem 'An affectionate, informal, and perceptive biography of one of the leading civil rights figures of this century . . . whose indefatigable work with the NAACP, SCLC, and SNCC on behalf of the cause of social justice should never be forgotten.' — Arnold Rampersad Program in African American Studies Princeton University and author of Jackie Robinson 'Lyrically written and inspiring . . . a powerful, vivid, exciting triumph.' — Blanche Wiesen Cook author of Eleanor Roosevelt 'A wonderful long life story.' — Pete Seeger 'Plaudits for its empathy, insightfulness, and gendered narration of an astonishingly neglected life that was pivotal in the pursuit of American justice and humanity.' — David Levering Lewis Pulitzer Prize-winning author of W. E. B. Du Bois: Biography of a Race and King: A Biography Ella Baker came out of slavery, and this fact lived with her. That is a difficult thing for people in thelate twentieth century to grasp. She came out of a family that rebelled against the status quo and she carried on the family tradition. But she was not against; she was for. She was for the participation of people in whatever affected their lives.

Shining a guiding light on the path to freedom, Ella J. Baker stood at the forefront of the great struggle for civil rights. The battles she fought, the organizations she helped build, the prominent leaders she worked with, shoulder to shoulder - all these make her story a history of the movement itself. In Ella Baker Joanne Grant gives us the first full portrait of the incomparable Ella Baker. Although she shunned the spotlight, believing the glare of the media more a hindrance than a help to her work, Miss Baker, as she was known to all, nonetheless found herself center stage in the struggle for civil rights. Throughout the nineteen forties, fifties, and into the sixties, she fought to desegregate the schools, to increase voter registration, and to encourage participation of African Americans in electoral politics. Above all, she strove to get people everywhere more involved in the decisions that affected their own lives. In addition to her position as a national officer of the NAACP, Baker helped found Martin Luther King Jr.'s Southern Christian Leadership Conference and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. In a political world dominated by men, there were those who did not always know what to make of this driven, feisty, intensely focused woman. Her unceasing efforts brought her into conflict with Martin Luther King Jr. himself. Media > Book, [PU: Wiley]<
