Black History Film Festival 2026 - Official Selection

The Great Organizer Ella Baker

Directed by Larry Wright and LaTonya Simms
28 min

The short film pays tribute to Miss Ella Josephine Baker, a pivotal figure in the civil rights movement. She mentored icons like Rosa Parks, Dr. King, John Lewis, and Diane Nash. Her advocacy was crucial for women challenging male-dominated leadership during tumultuous times, supporting the likes of Fannie Lou Hamer and aiding in Angela Davis's release from prison. Her role, though understated due to her steadfast commitment to equality for women and the marginalized, was vital.
