MLK Celebration – Virtual 'FUNDI' Panel Discussion

4 p.m. Jan. 16 – Live online-only panel discussion of the film “FUNDI: The Story of Ella Baker.” The discussion will focus on the erasure of Black women in the Civil Rights Movement. According to the filmmakers, “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.” Scheduled panelists are Karriejoi Coit, Unity Community Center; Dr. Brianna Mack, OWU; Dr. Antron Mahoney, OWU (moderator); Ruchelle Pride, Unity Community Center; and Anna duSaire, OWU student. The film will not be screened as part of this free event, but is available through many libraries or may be rented online. Registration is required for access to the virtual panel discussion.
