She learned a lot from this founding member of the historic Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), who mentored her in the strategies of the 1960s Freedom Movement until the very week he died. She used these tools and trainings to awaken to her full humanity, expressed, among other ways, in her dedication to honoring the humanity of those most often overlooked and stepped around. The upshot: today she is widely known around New Orleans for her leadership in advocating for the houseless population. And, in this new album, she showcases the wisdom bequeathed to her by Curtis Muhammad, and in turn, the woman who charted that man’s own path, Ella Baker. This album is a tribute to this legacy, a suite of anthems for growing that movement among the next generation and beyond.
