Join me at the Detroit Film Theater for this documentary using footage from the The Harlem Cultural Festival in 1969. Tickets may be purchased online on the [DFT website](https://dia.org/events/summer-soul) or can be purchased at the box office on that day.
General admission $10.50 (+$1.50 convenience fee)

We can meet in the Kresge Court inside the DIA at 6:00 and head to the theater at 6:30 to get seats.

In his acclaimed debut as a filmmaker, Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson fashioned a joyful and transporting documentary — part music film, part historical record — created around an epic event that celebrated Black history, culture, and fashion. Over the course of six weeks in the summer of 1969, The Harlem Cultural Festival was filmed in Mount Morris Park (now Marcus Garvey Park) in New York.
Incredibly, most of the footage was largely forgotten–but no more. *Summer of Soul* shines a light on the importance of history to our spiritual well-being, and stands as a testament to the healing power of music during times of injustice, past and present. Including concert performances by Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Sly & the Family Stone, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Mahalia Jackson, B.B. King, The 5th Dimension and many more. Academy Award® Winner, Best Documentary Feature; Grand Jury Prize, Sundance Film Festival. (118 min.)

Join me for this walking tour of historic Ferry Street in Detroit near DIA and learn about the people and institutions who made Ferry Street one of Detroit’s most historic neighborhoods . You must purchase a ticket through [Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2024-5th-saturday-specialty-tour-historic-ferry-street-tickets-881151426637) to attend the tour.

Ferry Street today is known for its beautiful historic homes: Hecker House, Charles Lang Freer House, and the houses that make up the Inn on Ferry Street.
We explore the street that originated with the Ferry Seed Company farm established in the mid-1850s at the corner of East Ferry and Woodward to grow the seeds that were sold nationwide. Then came the prosperous residences in the mid-1880s and the Merrill Palmer Institute in the 1920s as well as population shifts to Jewish in the mid-1910s and to African American in the 1930s. Learn more about the people and institutions who made Ferry Street one of Detroit’s most historic neighborhoods.
