Research Project Abstract
This research project will focus on Ella Baker. It will give an in depth analysis into her life, why she got involved in the Civil Rights Movement and how she became a central Civil Rights activist. Sources will be websites of organizations that she was affiliated with and the historical research will be through Whitworth University. Research questions are what made her join the movement and become actively involved? Implications are that there is a lack of primary source research on Ella and that the only research is secondary.
