Ella Baker (1903-1986): The granddaughter of enslaved Africans and
a leader in struggles for social justice throughout her life, Ella
Baker helped found the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee
(SNCC) in 1960. SNCC was an organization of mostly Black students that
used non-violent direct action to lead the struggle against racism and
segregation in the South. With hard work and Baker’s guidance, many
SNCC activists became important leaders themselves.
