On March 9, 2023, to celebrate National Woman’s Month the Terry Buffington partnered with the Garland Theater in Spokane Wa. to premier the film Fundi: The Story of Ella Baker. All proceeds were donated to the Garland Theater https://garlandtheater.com/
FUNDI: THE STORY OF ELLA BAKER reveals the instrumental role that Ella Baker, a friend and advisor to Martin Luther King, played a pivotal role 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 and knowledge from generation to another. By looking at the 1960s from the perspective of Ella Baker, the “Godmother of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC)”, FUNDI adds an essential understanding of the U.S. civil rights movement.
