00:20Nobody ever heard of the
00:22Harlem Culture Festival.
00:24Nobody would believe it happened.
00:26Six weekends with major artists.
00:36The Panthers were the security
00:38and kids were sitting up on the trees.
00:40I was nervous.
00:42I didn't expect a crowd like that.
00:44Something very important was happening.
00:46It wasn't just about the music.
00:481969 was a change of era
00:50in the black community.
00:52The styles were changing.
00:54Music was changing.
00:56A revolution was coming together.
00:58We are a new people.
01:00We are a beautiful people.
01:04That concert took my life
01:06from black and white into color.
01:12We wanted progress.
01:14We are black people and we should be proud of this.
01:16We were coming together to say
01:18this was our world
01:20and how beautiful it was.
01:22We're going to try to sing a song together.
01:24Don't wait for your neighbor
01:26because your neighbor might be waiting for you.
01:32We believed in what we felt in here.
01:34So when we went up,
01:36let's go.
01:38Let's go do it.
01:40Let's go do it.
01:42Let's go do it.
01:44Let's go.
