Judith Jamison, best known for her work as a dancer, choreographer and artistic director of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, has died. She was 81 amsterdamnews.com/news/2024/11/0…

Judith Jamison, an international dance pioneer with Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, has passed away at the age of 81. Judith's grace, stature, and God-given talent inspired us all to dance like no one’s watching. In 1965, at a time when Black dancers were rare in ballet, she became the standard of dance with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. Jamison helped bring the dance company international acclaim with two of Ailey’s signature dances, “Revelations” and “Cry.” She danced with the Ailey Company for 15 years before leaving to perform on Broadway. Later, she returned to the Ailey Company as its artistic director for 20 years. Thank you for the gifts; may you dance a heavenly dance. 📸: Getty Images

Beyoncé isnt going to sing for free when y’all don’t even care about your own freedoms #KamalaHarris

Beyonce has more courage than two centuries old newspapers combined.

Just because Donald Trump acts goofy doesn’t mean his presidency wouldn’t be dangerous. And you don’t have to take my word for it. Lately, some of the people who know Trump the best have been saying in no uncertain terms that he should not be president again.

Done!

The plantation she worked for expelled her. Her landlord evicted her. Police beat her. The Klan tried to kill her. All for trying to sign Black people up to vote. Fannie Lou Hamer was born on this day in 1917. mississippifreepress.org/opinion-fannie…
