In 1991, an historical moment was made in Harlem at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture by Maya Angelou and Amiri Baraka (Leroi Jones) when they danced over the cremains of Langston Hughes and it was captured by NY Times photographer, Chester Higgins, Jr. The legendary photo, Dance of Rivers, appeared in the New York Times the next day for hundreds of thousands of people to see. It is most timely to re-visit this event and many others with the acclaimed poet, author, activist, humanitarian Maya Angelou, who shares countless memories in the multi award-winning documentary film.
