Summary

This film on Ella Baker's lifework highlights the civil rights movement of the 1960s, the period of the most dramatic upsurge in the struggle for racial justice. Since Ms. Baker's activism spanned over 50 years in the North and the South, the struggles of earlier decades are portrayed, giving a sense of the continuity of the fight for social change
