Bill Duke Instagram – I’m extremely honored to be an honoree at the much-celebrated “I’ve Known Rivers Film Festival”. If you’re in and around Los Angeles come out to enjoy the festivities. #StreetCornerRenaissance will be performing for my honoree event on November 19, 2022. They sang Happy Birthday to me during a LIVE Event for my book and I enjoyed them tremendously. Great Doo-Wop A cappella group.
“I’ve Known Rivers”, was inspired by the classic Langston Hughes poem, “The Negro Speaks of Rivers” (1921), wherein the poet speaks of the journey and history of Black people.
FAMLI Inc.’s grass root efforts guide youth who live in areas known for gang violence, substance abuse, teenage pregnancy, low graduation rates and other life difficulties. Its unique mentoring and school based art programs follow a nine-point curriculum, which teaches youth to accept personal responsibility for their lives.
Proceeds support the non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization that’s been effectively transforming and building our youth, FAMLI, Inc Foundation for Arts, Mentorship, and Leadership (at the helm of the Film Festival). To find out more about them here’s a link: www.famlisoul.org
This year the “I’ve Known Rivers Film Festival” will salute the classically trained actor and writer Max Julien, who won over legends of fans with his portrayal of “Goldie” in the 1970s film “The Mack”. We will have a screening of “The Mack” during the film festival’s activities, as a tribute to this unsung creative genius.
