Free screening & live Q&A with director Louis Massiah

Artist As First Responder, the Bay Area Lesbian Archives & Eastside Arts Alliance present a free “Film Fridays" community screening of TCB: The Toni Cade Bambara School of Organizing (2026), directed by Louis Massiah & Monica Henriquez. This new documentary explores the life and legacy of Black writer, educator, and activist Toni Cade Bambara and her lasting influence on Black feminist thought.

RSVP SOLD OUT! Limited walk-ins right before 7:30.

From her Harlem roots to her role as a self-described “culture worker,” Toni’s wit and fierce commitment to change come alive through rare footage and the voices of those who knew her best, including Toni Morrison and filmmaker Haile Gerima. Set to a cool jazz score, this stylish documentary honors an unsung icon whose legacy still resonates today. – Karen McMullen
