Documentary on Brooklyn Education and Arts Center, The East
All Of It - A podcast by WNYC
The East was a cultural organization founded in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, in 1969, with a mission of Black empowerment. Members built a school, local food co-ops, and even a publisher to support Black Brooklyn. Tomorrow, a free screening of a new documentary about The East, called, "The Sun Rises in The East," will be presented by BAM at the Jitu Weusi in Clinton Hill. Director Tayo Giwa and producer Cynthia Gordy Giwa join to discuss the history of The East and the making of the documentary.
