Talib Kweli on The Black Power Mixtape

Hip Hop artist Talib Kweli reflects on the documentary he participated in during an interview with PBS NEWSHOUR’s Hari Sreenivasan. The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975, airs Thursday night on Independent Lens. The interview was produced last month by ITVS.

The documentary is the product of Swedish journalists, who came to the U.S. to document the anti-war and Black Power movements of the late 1960s and early 1970s. The film combines music, original 16mm footage, and contemporary audio interviews from leading African American artists, activists, musicians, and scholars
