“Strong people don’t need strong leaders.”
Ella Baker believed movements belong to the people.
Long before the headlines of the Civil Rights Movement, she was organizing, mentoring young activists, and helping launch what became the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC).
The sit-ins.
The Freedom Rides.
The voter drives.
All carried her belief that real power grows from the ground up.
She marched.
Now we march.
