Ella Baker Freedom Bound by Joanne Grant (John Wiley and Sons, 1998)
John Wiley and Sons, 1998
Until this biography, students had to be content with only morsels of information from other publications about civil-rights activist Ella Baker, but Joanne Grant’s narrative traces Baker’s combative spirit back to the legacy of her grandparents, who were former slaves, and stresses a continuity of resistance within the African American community.
