Screening: Sundays at The Center presents "TCB: The Toni Cade Bambara School of Organizing"

Join the Walter and Linda Evans Center for African American Studies for a new film series, Sundays at The Center, featuring notable cinematic works that lionize and champion Black history, arts, and culture.

A biography of the influential writer, filmmaker, and cultural worker, Toni Cade Bambara, inspired a generation of artists to dedicate themselves to community empowerment. Directed by Louis Massiah, TCB: The Toni Cade Bambara School of Organizing is structured as a series of lessons on cultural organizing gleaned from Bambara's life and shared by her friends, colleagues, and students that emphasize her quick humor and deep insight.

"On the thirtieth anniversary of her death, Louis Massiah has conjured the great Toni Cade Bambara back to life. Through archival footage and personal testimonies — most notably and eloquently by her friend, editor, and champion, Toni Morrison — this formidable writer and warrior for social justice blazes back into consciousness. There was simply nobody else like her. TCB: The Toni Cade Bambara School of Organizing offers a tonic for today's woes and a lesson in joyousness for today's challenges. With its propulsive jazz soundtrack and knowledge of history, Massiah's film feeds a bone-deep hunger for inspiration." — B. Ruby Rich
