One of the most important African American leaders of the twentieth century and perhaps the most influential woman in the civil rights movement, Ella Baker (1903–1986) was an activist whose remarkable career spanned fifty years and touched thousands of lives. A gifted grassroots organizer, Baker shunned the spotlight in favor of vital behind-the-scenes work that helped power the Black freedom struggle. Making her way in predominantly male circles while maintaining relationships with a vibrant group of women, students, and activists, Baker was a national officer and key figure in the NAACP, a founder of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and a prime mover in the creation of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. In this definitive biography, Barbara Ransby chronicles Baker's long and rich career, revealing her complexity, radical democratic worldview, and enduring influence on group-centered, grassroots activism. Beyond documenting an extraordinary life, Ransby paints a vivid picture of the African American fight for justice and its intersections with other progressive struggles worldwide throughout the twentieth century.

The Gold Coins is based on real event. A few names have been changed. Some of the places have been renamed. Much happened exactly as described. In other cases, I fictionalized some of the details to provide clarity. I also took liberty to fill in the blanks of my brain whenever I forgot some details. It is my hope that you will accept there is more to our existence than what we can see with our physical eyes. We tend to be skeptical about things we do not understand. That is healthy; however, I hope, you also possess a healthy curiosity and vivid imagination. Both are powerful tools that can open up a new world for you to explore. I am blessed to be connected with many people who proudly embrace woo woo-ness. These are every day, ordinary people. Some are wealthy. Some are working class. Some live hand to mouth as the spirit leads them. All live life to the fullest. Likewise, I am connected with religious people Christians, Muslims, Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish. And, then I am connected with those who only believe in the science. Most of the time I only understand a nth of what they are saying but I appreciate that nth because it shows me yet another aspect of the Universe. It is because of the teachers in my life that I was finally able to write this book. I am a woo woo Christian that also believes in science. We only know a small portion of all there is to know and by connecting with each other, accepting each other, loving each other, forgiving each other and supporting each other will we be able to continue to exist as the human race. Be well and enjoy this gift of life!

Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, two of America's most revered symbols of freedom, date back to the British rule of the American colonies. The main structure of Independence Hall was completed in 1732, and the final casting of the Liberty Bell was completed in 1753. Visited by over two million people yearly, these historic icons have been used as backdrops for many political and social demonstrations and speeches. Filled with images from the archives of Independence National Historical Park, Philadelphia Department of Records, and collections from around the country, Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell illustrates how these two historic relics generate a sense of pride and patriotism set forth by the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.
