General Baker Institute Library The General Baker Institute Library is a community library and reading space building on the legacy of Detroit labor organizer General Gordon Baker Jr.’s lifelong work. Inspired by Baker’s co-founding of Detroit and Hamtramack’s respective Revolutionary Union Movements (RUMs) movement of the late 1960s, the GBIL is focused on Black labor knowledge centering labor forward and anticapitalist works to increase political education amongst working class Black Detroiters. GBIL is a hidden gem located on Detroit’s Westside in the Pilgrim Village neighborhood.
