- AARP TV: Stonewall 40 Years Later (2009) 10 minute video on the Stonewall Riots of June 1969
- Black Woodstock: Harlem Cultural Festival “The idea behind Black Woodstock was to celebrate African American music and promote black pride and unity after a difficult period during the late 1960s which saw the Watts Riots and the deaths of Martin Luther King (April 1968) and Malcolm X (February 1965)… The events were all captured on film by TV producer Hal Tulchin who had wanted to sell the footage to the TV networks but none of them showed any interest and some 50 hours of footage has still not seen the light of day.”
