Summer of Soul: Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson's Oscar-winning documentary about the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival presents a joyful celebration of Black history, culture and fashion.

Our Summer of Soul curriculum guide includes a history lesson about the civil rights movement, the Black Power movement, and African American activism of the 1960s. (Yes, it also touches on the 1965 Los Angeles Watts Riots.)

The film is for ages 13+ and the soundtrack is epic. The film has lots of international streaming options. 5/n
