Bill > H7101

This resolution, from the Rhode Island House of Representatives, celebrates Funda Fest 28 and the contributions of RI Black Storytellers (RIBS) from January 13th to 25th, 2026. RIBS, a nonprofit organization founded in 1998, aims to promote Black storytelling through performances and educational experiences. Funda Fest, the organization's main event, is a two-week celebration drawing its name from a Zulu word meaning "to learn" or "to teach," and it provides a platform for Black individuals to share their history, values, and traditions, often absent from mainstream narratives. The resolution encourages all Rhode Islanders to participate in this event to learn about generational Black history through the art of storytelling.
