An Interview with Rebecca Baker

An Oral History Project Conducted by John Robert Lewis Scholar Ania Wellere

 

Project Description

This oral history project allowed me to sit down with my grandmother and talk through the things that she experienced throughout her life and account for my great grandmother’s stories. My great grandmother was deeply involved in the civil rights movement and community work throughout her entire life. She supported young girls and single mothers, in our neighborhood and church; she wrote a book to fill the educational gap she felt needed to be filled for young girls/women to learn more about their bodies and how to embrace them; and she continues to support underserved communities through acts of kindness.
