I know being at home with the boys, they want so much food throughout the day. because theyre not doing anything and theyre not distracted, they want to eat all the time. and the provision, theres not much around. everything is a lot of money, its cost. having two children, thats a lot of money for me. kenosha and her husband both work but with the summer holidays bringing extra costs, this community centre in brixton in south london is a lifeline. this is in the heart of the most deprived area ...

Last modified on Sun 18 Jul 2021 03.03 EDT This Sundance award-winner is an absolute joy, uncovering a treasure trove of pulse-racing, heart-stopping live music footage (originally captured by TV veteran Hal Tulchin) that has remained largely unseen for half a century. While Mike Wadleigh’s Gimme Shelter have long been considered definitive documents of the highs and lows of 1969 pop culture, Summer of Soul makes both look like a footnote to the main event: a festival in the heart of Har...

In 2004, while sifting through a box of files with his son, the pioneering photographer Kwame Brathwaite, who chronicled Black life across seven decades, beginning in the 1950s, pulled out a long-forgotten black-and-white image from a manila envelope. It captured a resplendent Roberta Flack in a flowing chiffon gown, John Lennon’s left arm draped atop her shoulder, his right clutching Yoko Ono, with a “plastic soul”-era David Bowie looking on bemused and the Righteous Brothers thrown in f...

Where were you on July 20, 1969? Unless you were among the thousands fortunate enough to have been in Mount Morris Park for the opening of the Harlem Cultural Festival, chances are you were glued to a television set witnessing another historical milestone: that was the Sunday on which man first walked on the moon. When Walter Cronkite mentioned the concert on the CBS Evening News, it was probably the last time the event was discussed in public. The footage sat in a basement for 50 years, appare...

Courtesy of Searchlight Pictures Questlove explains how his film Summer of Soul excavates a moment of Black musical excellence, the Harlem Cultural Festival, that was forgotten for decades. I have lost count of the number of concerts that I have seen in this lifetime. But there are a few that have left a Memorex memory. One of them is The Roots. It was the mid 1990s. And the venue was the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. I was in grad school at Howard, so down time with lots of music was imperati...

1994 opens with a cheeky reference to the Fear Street books themselves (like the Goosebumps movies, it appears to take place in a world where R.L. Stine’s work exists), as a shopper at the book store dismisses the source material as ‘lowbrow horror’ and ‘trash.’ But you’d never guess that watching this adaptation, a Scream scrubbed of danger. Forget the middle-aged fans it might irk. Don’t today’s kids deserve some trash of their own, instead of a tasteful substitution?” He...

In ‘Summer of Soul,’ a lost history reborn to play loud NEW YORK (AP) — “Like a rose coming through the concrete” is one description of 1969’s Harlem Cultural Festival heard in Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson’s exuberant, illuminating documentary “Summer of Soul (…or: The Revolution Will Not Be Televised’).” The event, held the same summer as Woodstock, drew together Nina Simo...
