This film pays tribute to the Black Bus Stop, an informal yet iconic gathering spot for black students on the campus of the University
of Virginia, Charlottesville in the eighties and nineties. Young people could
be found there listening to music, talking politics, dancing, flirting.
Today, under the glare of the moonlight, black fraternity and sorority
members reclaim these hallowed grounds as they chant and sway to the
rhythms and memories of the past. (Claudrena N. Harold)
