Overground RR!!TM at Miss Evers' Boys
Lena Baker Movie Event In Atlanta Based on a true story, THE LENA BAKER STORY stars Tichina Arnold (Martin) and recounts the untold story of Lena Baker, the first and only woman to be executed by the electric chair in the state of Georgia in 1945. The film highlights her struggle to rise above the challenges of her life, to face the choices she makes, and to ultimately triumph over her impossible circumstances.
