Tenderloin Museum and the San Francisco Public Library present a screening of Rainbow in the Clouds and other footage to outline Dr. Angelou’s deep and meaningful history with the Tenderloin’s radical church, GLIDE. In 1992, the Detroit Educational Television Foundation produced a documentary about the GLIDE Memorial Church from the perspective of poet, writer, Civil Rights activist, and longtime GLIDE congregation member Dr. Maya Angelou called Rainbow in the Clouds. Originally broadcast on PBS, this extraordinary hour of TV gives a snapshot of GLIDE in the early ‘90s: its robust Sunday Celebrations, expansive programs serving the Tenderloin, collective activism, along with profiles of the remarkable individuals who comprise the GLIDE community. Dr. Angelou conducts interviews with her friends Rev. Cecil Williams and Janice Mirikitani as well as with many folks who have found community, transformation, and love at GLIDE.
NR, 59 mins., 1992. Closed captions (CC) in English.
