Summer of Soul, My Name is Pauli Murray and Mayor Among 82nd Peabody Awards Winners
Summer of Soul, My Name is Pauli Murray and Mayor – 82nd Peabody Awards Winners The documentary Summer of Soul (…Or When The Revolution Could Not Be Televised) directed by Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson won the Arts award at the 82nd Peabody Awards. In the concert documentary film Summer of Soul, musician and debut director Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson puts us in the front row of a seminal event that should be as legendary as Woodstock but had been relegated to the dusty and neglected storage bins of history: the Harlem Cultural Festival in the summer of 1969. The film weaves together interviews with attendees and cultural commentators for context with astonishing footage of festival performances from the likes of Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Mahalia Jackson, B.B. King, and many more.
