Questlove Remembers the Black Woodstock
In his fight against Black erasure, the Roots drummer, who has amassed two hundred thousand LPs (plus bags full of “Soul Train” VHS tapes), makes his directorial début with “Summer of Soul,” about the mostly forgotten series of concerts in Harlem, in 1969, Bruce Handy writes.
"I got a note that 'these guys want to talk to you about this festival that happened in Harlem, and there was Sly, Stevie,' and I'm, like, 'Wait a minute. This didn't happen, because I would've known about it.'" — Questlove
