Rosa_Parks_And_Ella_Baker

Rosa Parks And Ella Baker Rosa Parks and Ella Baker were two of the most important women during the Civil Rights Movement. Through their many achievements and great involvement in African American committees and institutions against segregation, they were able to change the way society is for African Americans today. Always using non-violent tactics within their committees and on the streets during protests they were still successful in making life better for colored people. The Mother of the Civil Rights Movement, Rosa Parks, established her involvement in defending African American rights when the President of NAACP (National Association of the Advancement of Colored People), Edgar Daniel Nixon, hired her as Advisor of the Montgomery office. Here she began to fight for African Americans to have the right of taking out books from the library, helping in getting blacks registered to vote, and also would keep track of cases concerning discrimination against African Americans. She was also a strong supporter of the Scottsbore defendants, who were nine African Americans charged with raping two white women.
