"Freedom Fighters All Stars - Fannie Lou Hamer "

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.

Fannie Lou Hamer (1917-1977) "I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired." Fannie Lou Hamer was evicted from her home for trying to register to vote. She was beaten in jail for fighting for freedom. But she never stopped. She co-founded the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party and delivered one of the most powerful speeches in American history at the 1964 Democratic National Convention. Freedom Summer lives because of her.
