She is Ella Baker.<br />
Many Blessings,<br />
RLH<br />
She is an unsung hero that contributed much to this<br />
country's Civil Rights Movement. A member of the<br />
NAACP, the Southern Christian Leadership<br />
Conference, and a host of other organizations, this<br />
woman left a profound impact in her community and<br />
inspired others to continue the fight for equal rights.<br />
She also challenged school policies that were unfair to<br />
black students at Shaw University in Raleigh, North<br />
Carolina where she attended. Because of the brilliance<br />
and bravery she displayed, the Ella Baker Center for<br />
human rights has been named after this historical icon.<br />
