Questlove said the heart behind his Oscar-nominated 'Summer of Soul' came from a desire to create content that his younger self would want to see.
For 50 years, the footage of an epic event that celebrated Black history, culture and fashion, The Harlem Cultural Festival, sat unseen. Until now.
This, Questlove said, is an example of"Black erasure," the dismissing and/or discarding of certain Black-centric historical events. He is, however, proud that"Summer of Soul" emphasizes the importance of reflecting Black joy, which is evident in the artists' performances and the 300,000-member audience's reactions in Harlem during a time when New York City was hurting.
