I Remember Harlem
Dir. William Miles, 1980, 120 min.
This seminal series traces Harlem's 350-year history, evoking one of America's most vibrant communities. As a visual counterpart to the oral histories in the film, Miles unearthed old photographs and motion picture films and newsreel footage, much of it rare and never before. In early 1982, one year after it was broadcast, I Remember Harlem won an Alfred I. Dupont-Columbia University Citation and an American Film Festival Award.
Screening Includes:
Toward Freedom (1940-1965)
Toward a New Day (1965-1980)
