In 1958, Alvin Ailey founded Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater to carry out his vision of a company dedicated to enriching the American modern dance heritage and preserving the uniqueness of the African-American cultural tradition. Ailey said that one of America’s richest treasures was the African-American cultural heritage— “sometimes sorrowful, sometimes jubilant, but always hopeful.”
As we join in the annual recognition of the achievements of Black people in the United States, we celebrate Ailey’s lasting contribution to American culture and the global influence of Black dance artists.
