Additional Information
With a career that spanned more than five decades, Ella Josephine Baker remains one of the most iconic figures in the American Civil Rights movement, working alongside some of the most influential figures in the movement, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Thurgood Marshall, A. Philip Randolph, and W.E.B. Dubois. Baker's legacy includes her critiques of systemic racism within the United States as well as her commentary on the sexism found within the American Civil Rights movement itself, which made her a leader in both feminist and anti-racist circles. Her most notable work was in the 1960s as the leader and primary advisor to the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC).
Baker has been called "one of the most important American leaders of the twentieth century and perhaps the most influential woman in the civil rights movement," and she remains one of the most enduring figures of the twentieth century. Baker joined the YNCL group in 1931 and quickly rose the ranks to become the national director. Baker immersed herself in the progressive cultural movements found in Harlem in the 1930s and protested against the Italian invasion of Ethiopia, and supported the campaign to release the defendants in Scottsboro, Alabama.
Baker began working with the NAACP in 1938 and would continue to be associated with the group for the duration of her career. Captured here in an iconic portrait, Baker's legacy continues to inspire people around the globe and in the United States. This is an essential piece of American photographic history.
