Harlem Renaissance Documentary Night: Been Rich All My Life

They performed with the likes of Bill (Bojangles) Robinson, Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald; led the strike at the Apollo Theater that established the American Guild of Variety Artists; and toured in the first black USO show (stealing "for colored only" signs off trains in the South). 

Meet the age-defying Silver Belles, still "bustin' a move" and donning sequins for sold-out crowds in 2006. From their days in chorus lines of the Harlem Renaissance, their love of dance and of each other hasn't wavered, and the film sparkles with their candor and sly humor. Despite any setbacks, they never lose their gratitude for where their feet have taken them.
