Oscar(R)-nominated and multiple award-winning documentary "Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)" will make its broadcast television premiere on ABC on SUNDAY, FEB. 20 (8:00-10:31 p.m. EST). In his acclaimed debut as a filmmaker, Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson presents a powerful 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 summer 1969, just 100 miles south of Woodstock, The Harlem Cultural Festival was filmed in Mount Morris Park (now Marcus Garvey Park). The footage was largely forgotten - until now.
