    • Synopsis
    • “Sacred ground. A transcendent space of communion where young people could be found listening to music, talking politics, dancing, flirting, living in their fullness.

      This film pays tribute to the Black Bus Stop, an informal yet iconic gathering site for black students at the University of Virginia during the 1980s and 1990s. Under the glare of the moonlight, black fraternity and sorority members repossess hallowed grounds as they sway to the rhythms and memories of the past.”
      -Claudrena N. Harold, co-director, Black Bus Stop
