Introducing The Difference Makers
Assata Shakur (1947–2025) was an American Black liberation activist, former Black Panther and Black Liberation Army member who lived in exile in Cuba after escaping prison. She became both a controversial figure and a symbol of resistance, known for her autobiography and decades of advocacy before dying in Havana at age 78.
Ella Baker (1903–1986) was a civil rights organizer who believed in grassroots leadership and collective action. She worked with the NAACP, SCLC, and helped mentor the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), emphasizing that lasting change comes from empowered communities, not a single or a few charismatic leaders.
James Brown (1933–2006) was a legendary singer, songwriter, and performer known as the “Godfather of Soul.” A major influence on funk, soul, and hip-hop, he used music to express Black pride and empowerment, most famously with the anthem “Say It Loud. I’m Black and I’m Proud.”
Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960) was a writer and anthropologist of the Harlem Renaissance. Best known for Their Eyes Were Watching God, she celebrated Black life, language, and folklore. Though overlooked at her death, her work is now recognized as foundational to American literature and Black cultural history.
