"Freedom Fighters All Stars - Ella Baker"

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.

Hip-hop taught us history. Now we paint it.

Ella Baker (1903-1986) They called her the "mother of the civil rights movement," but she never wanted the spotlight. Ella Baker worked behind the scenes at the NAACP, helped co-found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference with Dr. King, and founded the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). She believed in grassroots organizing and empowering everyday people to lead their own movements.
