Ella's Song, composed by Bernice Johnson Reagon, originally recorded by Sweet Honey In The Rock.

“Until the killing of black men, black mothers’ sons, is as important as the killing of white men, white mothers’ sons, we who believe in freedom cannot rest.”

The words and lyrics of “Ella’s Song” come to the Resistance Revival Chorus from a long line of freedom fighters. This rallying anthem quoting the indelible words of civil rights leader Ella Baker was written by Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon, one of the original SNCC Freedom Singers who later formed the a cappella group Sweet Honey in the Rock — one of our greatest inspirations in breathing joy and song into the resistance.

We are sharing this music video on this historic #Juneteenth to urge you to keep your foot on the gas in this crucial moment — because we who believe in freedom cannot rest until it comes.

The RRC is donating 100% of all proceeds from this song for the year to the Movement for Black Lives. Please support with a download and blast it on repeat in your homes, out your windows and in the streets, or donate directly to m4bl.org.
