Sixty years ago, Alvin Ailey and his small company of African-American dancers took to the stage and ushered in a new era in the arts. Ailey became one of the groundbreaking greats in modern dance history, and the company, Alvin Ailey - American Dance Theatre, is still active to this day.
Ailey said that one of America’s richest treasures was the cultural heritage of the African-American; ”sometimes sorrowful, sometimes jubilant, but always hopeful.” In this video, get a glimpse of Ailey's Revelations, an enduring classic and a tribute to that heritage and to Ailey’s genius.
