FUNDI: The Story of Ella Baker

In honor of Ella Baker Day, watch FUNDI: The Story of Ella Baker on Friday, April 14th, starting at 2pm at the Warren County Armory Civic Center in Warrenton, NC.

ABOUT
FUNDI: THE STORY OF ELLA BAKER reveals the instrumental role that Ella Baker, a friend and advisor to Martin Luther King, Jr., played in shaping the American civil rights movement. The dynamic activist was affectionately known as the Fundi, a Swahili word for a person who passes skills from one generation to another.

By looking at the 1960s from the perspective of Baker, the “godmother of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee,” FUNDI adds an essential understanding of the U.S. civil rights movement.
