Question

Why did ella baker help form the student nonviolent coordinating committee?

Answer 1

Answer:

Because she believed that young emerging activists were a resource and an asset to the movement.

Explanation:

Ella Jo Baker was an activist in the Human Rights Movement and considered the hero of the Civil Rights Movement of African-Americans. She played a major role in some predominant groups of the time such as the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) of Martin Luther King and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC).

The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee was formed in April 1960, by Baker. The Committee was formed as a response when black students were denied service at Woolworth's lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina. Baker formed this committee and decided to assist the new activists, after calling the leaders because she believed that these new and young emerging activists were an asset for the movement.
