The Harlem Walking Tour video series is a set of very short videos that highlight historic artistic figures who either lived in or spent time in Harlem and how each person contributed to the vibrancy and rich cultural landscape that make Harlem what it is today. This also features some of Harlem's renowned institutions, such as the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, Dance Theatre of Harlem, and the Harlem School of the Arts, among others. This series was conceived by husband and wife team, Terrance McKnight of WQXR and harpist-scholar Dr. Ashley Jackson.

The seventh and final episode of the Harlem Walking Tour Video Series features the legendary dancer and founder of Dance Theatre of Harlem Arthur Mitchell. The Harlem Chamber Players join forces with the Dance Theatre of Harlem and the Harlem School of the Arts for this special tribute to Arthur Mitchell.

This tribute begins with introductory remarks by the Artistic Director of Dance Theatre of Harlem, Virginia Johnson, and Pulitzer-Prize winning composer-conductor Tania León. This tribute also includes students from the Harlem School of the Arts and a special performance by members of Dance Theatre of Harlem with an orchestra comprising members of The Harlem Chamber Players conducted by Tania León.
