Not very removed from the acclaimed Woodstock Pageant in Bethel, New York, a robust celebration of black heritage was going down.
In the summertime of 1969, The Harlem Cultural Pageant, only one hundred miles south of Woodstock, was dwelling to a six-week occasion highlighting historical past, style and the black expertise. Performers included Stevie Marvel, Nina Simone, Sly & the Household Stone, Gladys Knight & the Pips and extra.
A lot of the footage was by no means seen and largely forgotten–till now. In his acclaimed debut as a filmmaker, Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson presents Summer time of Soul. Described as “half music movie, half historic report,” the documentary “shines a lightweight on the significance of historical past to our non secular well-being and stands as a testomony to the therapeutic energy of music throughout occasions of unrest, each previous and current.”
Summer time of Soul arrives on HULU and in theaters July 2.
