Ella Baker is a prominent social activist who has played a key
role in fighting for the rights of the women besides racial
segregation. She is an African America woman 65 years old.
She was born from an immigrant family whose mother and
father had been deported to the United States to work in the
European farms at a low wage or even without payment. Ella
Baker grew up witnessing the kind of oppression that her
parents were going through in the hands of the Whites and by
the time she completed her high school education, she had
started the efforts to liberate Blacks from oppressive acts that
really undermined their human rights and freedom (Hamilton,
2015). Ella Baker was a close ally to her parents and
passionately loved them. In fact, this is one of the primary
drivers that motivated her to come out strong in the effort to
protect and advocate for their release from the White man’s
oppression. It is important to understand that Ella Baker had
only one brother. In other words, they were two in the family.
She made efforts to mentor the younger brother who followed
suit, joined and become an active member in Martin Luther
King’s organization by the name of Southern Christian
Leadership Conference (SCLC). As mentioned earlier, Baker is
a social activist and her favorite ways of passing time is helping
the needy. She has stood firm to advocate for the interests and

3. rights of the African Americans in the matters of education and
social freedom (Haydn, 2013). She has expressed passionate
liking of social and political freedom. She has, however,
expressed ardent condemnation of any actions that tend to
deprive Blacks of their rights in the American society. In other
words, Baker has been so consistent to echo the plights of the
African Americans in addition to helping and supporting them
to improve their welfare through her foundation.
