Constance Baker Motley
(1921 – 2005) was an African-American civil rights activist, lawyer, judge, feminist, state senator, and Borough President of Manhattan, New York City. She was the first African-American woman appointed to the federal judiciary. She was an assistant attorney to Thurgood Marshall arguing the case Brown v. Board of Education. She began her career in 1946 working for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. She would go on to defend countless African American civil rights leaders including Martin Luther King Jr., the Freedom Riders, and the Birmingham Children Marchers. Baker visited churches that were fire bombed, sang freedom songs, and visited Rev. Martin Luther King while he sat in jail, as well as spending a night with civil rights activist Medgar Evers under armed guard. She is considered to be among the most influential legal advocates in American civil rights history.
