🎶🎤🎬#ArtIsAWeapon #TheApolloDoc "Music and art provided an avenue out of the legacy of slavery." - @hbo's #documentary about #Harlem's world famous @apollotheater - premieres tonight, November 6, at 9:00PM ET. _____________________ The first concert I remember attending was at the Apollo. I think I was about 4 years old, and my Mom took us to shows there often. This started my life-long-love of Black artists and live performances. The Apollo Theater impacted this little #HarlemGirl's life immensely and I am really happy that its legacy and history are documented and celebrated in this film. _____________________ From www.hbo.com: :The Apollo" chronicles the unique history and contemporary legacy of the New York City landmark, the Apollo Theater. The documentary weaves together archival footage, #music, #comedy and #dance performances, and behind-the-scenes verité with the team that makes the theater run. The Apollo features interviews with artists including Patti LaBelle, Pharrell Williams, Smokey Robinson, and Jamie Foxx. "The Apollo" covers the rich history of the storied performance space over its 85 years and follows a new production of Ta-Nehisi Coates’ Between the World and Me as it comes to the theater’s grand stage. The creation of this vibrant multi-media stage show frames the way in which The Apollo explores the current struggle of black lives in America, the role that art plays in that struggle and the broad range of African American achievement that the Apollo Theater represents. The Apollo Theater is internationally renowned for having influenced American and pop culture more than any other entertainment venue.  _____________________ 🎥 Reposted from @apollotheater - The film reflects on the struggle of black lives in America, the role that art plays in that struggle, and the role the Apollo Theater continues to play in American and Global culture. Who else will be watching?!! _____________________ #TheApollo #BlackHistory #BlackAmerica #ArtsAndCulture #BlackExcellence #TraScapades #BlackGirlFilmGeeks🤓 #ArtIsAWeapon https://www.instagram.com/p/B4iEXUMgWvx/?igshid=1e1gz6ymi0im5
