In this video lesson, educator Sari Beth Rosenberg highlights civil rights organizer Ella Baker, whose grassroots leadership helped shape the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and empower a new generation of activists.

Comment “Ella” for a DM to the accompanying worksheets for grades 5–8 and 9–12.
