During the same summer as Woodstock, over 300,000 people attended the Harlem Cultural Festival, celebrating African American music and culture, and promoting Black pride and unity. The footage from the festival sat in a basement, unseen for over 50 years, keeping this incredible event in America's history lost — until now.
Long-lost archival footage finally brings the vibrant, rhythmic energy of the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival out of a basement and into the light. This visual feast recovers a vital piece of Black history that the mainstream media ignored during the same summer as Woodstock.
