  • The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Celebrates 60 Years of Modern Dance and Creative Expression By: Haley Messenger February 8, 2019
    The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater celebrates 60 years of modern dance and creative expression By: Haley Messenger February 8, 2019 Watch here: https://cision.criticalmention.com/app/#/clip/public/31fc5fd1-98a1-4019-a72d-999f15ed883a Dancer and choreographer Alvin Ailey gathered a handful of modern black dancers in 1958 to perform with him at New York’s 92nd Street YM-YWHA. It was here that the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, as well as Ailey’s vision for a more inclusive world of the art form, was born. Since then, the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater has grown to include 32 dancers who have gone on to perform more than 235 works for an estimated 25 million people across six continents. This season, the dance company celebrates its 60th anniversary. Judith Jamison, its artistic director emerita, is especially proud of this accomplishment. She has watched the company become a cultural force since she joined as a dancer in 1965. Jamison became a close friend of Ailey while he created a wide array of roles for her, including the solo Cry. Ailey wrote the ballet for Jamison as a birthday present to his mother in 1971. Jamison recounts how her friend was like a “chameleon when he was choreographing.” “He could show you every single part, every single person he wanted you to be,” she told NBC News’ Rehema Ellis. “He could demonstrate who that person was. He could tell you about that person. He loved being around people, all kinds of people; not just dancers.” Tune in to NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt tonight for more.

  • {PDF EPUB} Supreme Disorder Judicial Nominations and The
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Supreme Disorder Judicial Nominations and the Politics of America's Highest Court by Ilya Shapiro Trump Should Add These People to His Supreme Court List | Opinion. Four years ago, one of the ways that then-presidential candidate Donald Trump disrupted the campaign was by publicly revealing a list of potential Supreme Court nominees, which he later expanded and pledged to pick from. Justice Antonin Scalia's passing in February 2016 had elevated the political potency of the Supreme Court in the election even more directly than would the usual debates over abortion, guns and other legal controversies. If Hillary Clinton had been able to appoint Scalia's successor, so many policy areas would be headed in substantially different directions. Instead, Trump produced a list of judges that held the Republican coalition together and, ultimately, attracted swing voters in key states. Now, having appointed two justices from that list, the president heads into a re-election campaign where the Supreme Court, and judicial appointments more broadly, is no less of an issue than it was four years ago. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's recent cancer treatment is just the latest health concern this 87-year-old progressive icon has faced. She's obviously trying to outlive the Trump presidency, but another come-from-behind win this November would make that hard. And don't forget that Justice Stephen Breyer just turned 82—while Justice Clarence Thomas is 72, after serving nearly 30 years on the Court, and Justice Samuel Alito is 70 and may be getting restless after 15 years of his own service.
