Listen. You have to know that art is dangerous. Ta Listen. You have to know that art is dangerous. Take care of the artists now.
New thing, what think? 10% of price goes to the El New thing, what think? 10% of price goes to the Ella Baker Institute? This is from Jet magazine, 1964, picturing the convention of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party. Two queens (and perSISTERS): Fannie Lou Hamer and Ella Baker. I was talking to a visitor to my Eastern Market situation, we were gushing over how great Fannie was, and I said, wait, I have to show you this photo. (I include the Jet cover image in the info on the back of my Ella Baker print.) My visitor said, "I would buy a shirt with that on it". You can read about these two, and the prints I made for them, by visiting the perSISTERS tab on my blog at Ledablack.com
