M & M Smith: For Posterity's Sake

Twin artists Morgan and Marvin Smith's work in photographs, paintings, and film documented the vibrant beauty of Harlem's Golden Age, influencing the world's perception of African-Americans. The images of M & M Smith captured the energy and emotion of Harlem in all its nuances: Lindy hoppers at the Savoy Ballroom, legendary performers like Duke Ellington and Billie Holiday, street corner orators, boxer Joe Louis, demonstrations supporting the Anti-Lynching Bill, and Adam Clayton Powell's "Don't Buy Where You Can't Work" campaign. Narrated by Ruby Dee, and featuring Eartha Kitt.
