Q&A with Louise Greaves and curator Shola Lynch of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture
One of Greaves’s greatest, From These Roots is a crash course in Harlem history, told entirely through the use of still images—rarely has so much information been condensed so gracefully. Paired with two early, rare Greaves docs, showing the incredible range of his work. A tribute to the Harlem-born teacher, mentor, and filmmaker, who passed away in August 2014.
