{"value"=>"<p>Included among the civil rights related material are materials that indicate Baker conducted civil disobedience workshops for the Highlander Center and attended the Freedom Schools curriculum training conducted there. Baker was also a founding member of In Friendship a civil rights organization formed to provide: financial and material aid to the desegregation struggle; technical assistance to and cooperation with leaders of the south by professional personnel, research, publicity and public relations; and public education and stimulation through projects designed to reach hundreds of thousands of persons. Operation Freedom, for which Baker was a board member, channeled money directly to individuals in the South facing reprisal for taking actions to end desegregation and/or registering to vote. Material on the Fund for Education and Legal Defense (FELD) an organization that grew out of the civil rights struggle is limited but provides a brief history of the organization. FELD raised funds to cover legal expenses and advocate for political change in the South with particular focus on Alabama. The Northern Student Movement, student civil rights organization, emerged from a 1961 conference put on by the New England Student Movement. The organizations primary focus was to address the discrimination practices of institutions in the northern areas of the United States.</p>"}
