One of my favorite pieces of Black Film ephemera ever. In the early 1980s we saw the transition from film to video, which meant an increase in the amount of information captured, but a (relative) decrease in quality. I am a big fan of photographer Jamel Shabazz (i reference A Time Before Crack the way some people look at the Bible), so this to me was a great discovery. It captures a group of young people, reflecting their attitudes and fashion and evokes many personal memories.
