Winfred Rembert
Georgia native Winfred Rembert spent his childhood as a fieldworker in the pre-Civil Rights South, joined the movement as a teenager, was forced to work on a prison chain gang and is a rare survivor of a lynching attempt. As a self-taught visual artist, he depicts scenes from the days of segregation in intricate painted works of leather tooling.

He is the subject of Ashes to Ashes (Mountainfilm 2019).
