Ella Baker Shakers
Ella Baker Shaker is an original Bounce track dedicated to joy, freedom and ancestral lineage. We tell the story of Ella Baker as her legacy continues to encourage us to dream up new worlds. Ella Baker said “We who believe in freedom cannot rest until it comes.” We hope this song encourages a generation of youth to become “Ella Baker Shakers” who shake up systemic barriers and fight for justice and freedom.
