NEW YORK — It’ll be 1969 all over again, when that year’s Harlem Cultural Festival makes a comeback.
Harlem businesswoman Nikoa Evans, media maverick Musa Jackson and Emmy Award-nominated event producer Yvonne McNair announced plans Wednesday to launch the inaugural Harlem Festival of Culture, inspired by Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson’s Academy Award-winning documentary “Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised).”
The series of events and music concerts held to uplift Black culture during the 1969 festival called “The Black Woodstock” will be revived in 2023 at an annual outing that Jackson said will be a “moment to show the world the vibrancy of today’s Harlem.”
