SPOKANE, Wash — The Magic Lantern Theater was a special showing on Thursday of the movie "The Woman King" to honor Sandy Williams' passing.
Sandy Williams was an activist for racial equality and equity in Spokane, opening the Carl Maxey Center in honor of Spokane's first black lawyer. The passing of the activist and her partner left a legacy behind that is still remembered to this day in the community.
The showing of "The Woman King" took place at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 1st. Proceeds from ticket sales and the silent auction will go toward the Carl Maxey Center.
"On vacation with my mom, this past July, we talked about the movie "The Woman King" and how transformative it could be to see these strong Black women in all their tradition, culture and bravery grace the screens as role models for the next generation," said Sandy Williams' daughter, Renika Williams. "Because she never got to see the film, we are doing a re-showing of the film along with a silent auction to raise funds for the Carl Maxey Center."
