This was way better than I was expecting. The footage is pretty thorough so it really helps you feel like you’re there. MLK Jr’s assassination and the riots were fresh in everyone psyche…and you could feel and see itin the performances. Mahalia Jackson and Mavis Staples performance along with Jesse Jackson’s monologue about the last few moments of MLK’s life…. I don’t think I’ve been so moved from any film.

Stevie Wonder was incredible.

fifth dimension was dope

it’s a damn shame this was shelved for all these years.

this is essential American black history…it’s a must see if you have Hulu

Tbh, nobody acting up at an event like this was rare during this time, as well as the 70's.
