Part #2:
According to civil rights activist and Shaw University graduate Ella Baker, "One of the things that have to be faced is the process of waiting to change the system, how much we have got to do to find out who we are, where we have come from and where we are going."
That quote encapsulates our podcast theme, where we decode the language, decisions, and hidden areas of local power that often seem illogical to residents.
In part 2, we continue exploring Ella Baker's legacy. We dig more into correlations in today's racial/justice movements vs how Ella Baker handled them. We covered:
- Ella's belief is that "Strong people do not need strong leaders."
- Changing the mental model of challenging the system.
- The idea of servant leadership.
