In 1969, more than 300,000 people attended the Harlem Cultural Festival, a celebration of Black culture featuring performances by Stevie Wonder, Sly & the Family Stone, Nina Simone, B.B. King, and more. This joyful concert documentary from Philly legend Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson shines a light on a seminal moment for Black life in America.
