From the Freedom Fighters All-Stars collection by Embrace Boston E250 Living Archive featured artist and CBS Boston featured Dorchester native GBfree.

Each piece in this collection reimagines Black liberation leaders as the All-Stars they always were. Hand-painted on canvas using acrylic, oil and paint markers with no preliminary sketching, every piece is a one-of-a-kind original created in a few hours of focused work.

The signature yellow halo honors their sacrifice. The raised fist symbolizes the ongoing struggle. The silhouetted figures in the background represent the movements they built and the people who carried their work forward.

Crispus Attucks (1723-1770) The first to fall. Crispus Attucks, a man of African and Native American descent who escaped slavery and worked as a sailor and rope maker, became the first person killed in the Boston Massacre on March 5, 1770. Two musket balls to the chest made him the first martyr of the American Revolution. Before there was a country, there was a Black man willing to die for freedom.
