The U Street Corridor in the nation's capital has been many things -- Black Broadway, the heart of black culture in Washington, an innovator, an incubator, a slum. This film captures the highlights and low points of this historic Washington district over the last century. Set to the Music of the African American composer William Grant Still, the film is a collage of photographs and video footage that documents the people and places that made the U Street corridor what it was and is today. This is a sneak preview of the film that will be screened in November 2021, with score performed live by the Alexandria Symphony Orchestra.
