In August 1972, the filmmaker William Greaves threw a party at Duke Ellington’s home in the titular New York neighborhood. He invited luminaries to discuss and debate the legacy of the Harlem Renaissance, including the actor Leigh Whipper, the musicians Eubie Blake and Noble Sissle, and the librarian and playwright Regina Anderson. Over glasses of wine and champagne, they joked, bickered, and considered how the Black creative experience had evolved since they anchored the movement some 50 years prior. Footage of the evening taken by the late Greaves is already a priceless time capsule of a once-in-a-lifetime hangout session, but his son, David, has stitched the unvarnished conversations captured that day together with examples of their subjects’ many achievements—literary, artistic, and political. The result is an atmospheric, electrifying documentary and a moving testament to the importance of remembering.
