“Directed by Nicole London and produced by 4th Act Actual for the American Masters series, this rich documentary tells the story of Hazel Scott’s remarkable life fully for the first time, through archival footage and stills, performance clips, and animation.”

Hazel Scott’s son, Adam Clayton Powell III, will introduce this special viewing of the PBS documentary, The Disappearance of Miss Scott. According to the Library of Congress, the documentary was runnerup for its Lavine/Ken Burns Prize for Film in 2023. Over 4,000 items documenting Scott’s life and career are held in the building’s music division. This event will be held due to support of the Revada Foundation of the Logan family. 

A reception will follow the screening. Any ADA accommodations must be requested five business days in advance. The event is free; however, tickets must be purchased on the Library of Congress’ website.
