Crosstown Arts Film Series Presents: Summer of Soul

Six weeks. 300,000 people. A moment that should have been history.

As part of the Crosstown Arts Film Series, Crosstown Arts and Memphis Listening Lab present Summer of Soul, the long-buried story of the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival. Featuring unforgettable performances from Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Mahalia Jackson, B.B. King, and Sly and the Family Stone, the film captures a cultural eruption that went unseen for decades.

Directed by Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, and winner of major awards at the Sundance Film Festival, the film finally gives this moment the spotlight it always deserved.

Join us after the screening for a live conversation with producer Joseph Patel and IMAKEMADBEATS.
