The sto­ry of the post Black Swan years. We fol­low Harry’s Supreme Court bat­tle to deseg­re­gate the South Side of Chica­go, and then the mys­te­ri­ous deci­sion which forces him into seclu­sion, before his untime­ly death.

It was Motown before Motown, FUBU before FUBU: Black Swan Records. The label found­ed exact­ly 100 years ago by Har­ry Pace. Pace launched the career of Ethel Waters, inad­ver­tent­ly invent­ed the term rock n roll, played an impor­tant role in W.C. Handy becom­ing Father of the Blues,” inspired Ebony and Jet mag­a­zines, and helped deseg­re­gate the South Side of Chica­go in an epic Supreme Court bat­tle. Then, he dis­ap­peared. The Van­ish­ing of Har­ry Pace is a series about the phe­nom­e­nal but for­got­ten man who changed the Amer­i­can music scene. It’s a sto­ry about betray­al, fam­i­ly, hid­den iden­ti­ties, and a time like no other.
