What are other examples of "group-centered leadership"? Why is this style of leadership so powerful?

I wonder who Baker is alluding to....?

for baker and the students, this was not about individual freedoms or even just about Jim Crow. this seems really important for understanding how the civil rights movement was in some ways unfinished!

For more on Ella Baker, check out Barbara Ransby's book Ella Baker and the Black Freedom Movement

This seems like a good plan to me!

I'm on board with the author's argument that we need to break out of our standard way of doing things and commit to an "institutional systemic transformation." However, I'm struggling a little with the "revolution to evolution" title simply because of the alternate (and more prevalent?) definitions of "revolution." When I first read the title, I interpreted it as a call not for radical change but for many almost unnoticeable changes that will add up over time. Based on the rest of the text, I don't that that was the intention of the author. But it does make me wonder--are there alternate ways to describe the transformations we're seeking other than "evolve" (which carries some historical baggage in my opinion)?

From a student's perspective, I remember feeling really frustrated with reserve copies. From going to the library only to discover the books were already checked out, to needing to turn the piece in before you're done (and the exorbitant fees if you didn't), to not really being able to add your own marginalia, there were lots of things that I found aggravating about reserve copies. If there were multiple things assigned for one week, I'd frequently just skip the thing that was on reserve and focus on the other stuff.

According to the GoogleDoc, this was at 6pm...?
