I will never forget the absolute power and beauty of Judith Jamison's performance so many years ago, so glad I was privileged to see her.

An icon of African-American Dance. RIP The Great Judith Jameson. We saw Revelations many times ❤️❤️🙏

I’ve seen several Alvin Ailey productions, but Revelations is my favorite. It brings tears to your eyes. Rest in Paradise Queen. #JudithJamison

Right On, Be Free! Reign In Power Queen Judith Jamison! 👑

Rip Judith ❤ 🙏

For me, the triumphant coming forth of Judith Jamison dancing to the “Wade in the Water” segment of Revelations was a revelation of truth in itself. When that glorious day rolls on look to hear the rocks of the Reynolds Auditorium in Winston-Salem cry out for glory and honor. Truly transformational storytelling as dance 💃🏾

Artful progressions .

[@lindairving9562]

Alvin Ailey at the WHITNEY is astounding! Go see it. I got to take a lesson from an Ailey dancer at the WHITNEY. I am 75 and they transformed me. 💜☮️

[@patriciacrawford2583]

Love this program and when they Feature black programs, and Alvin Ailey is just essentially one of the greatest dance companies in the world and absolutely celebrated. Congratulations to your milestone.

[@patriciacrawford2583]

Lord let me see one of the performances before I die either here New York it doesn’t make a difference. I really would love to see them because they are extraordinarily gifted people because they my people.

[@shels6687]

I don't know why Rita called Ms. Jamison a 'former' dancer. Once a dancer, always a dancer!

[@morrisparrish76]

About like a marine!

[@margieerwin5798]

This Alvin Ailey dance company has always been my favorite. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world.

[@Gladys915]

Always happy to support AADT

[@track1949]

Jamison grew up in the Carroll Park area of West Philadelphia. Interestingly Wilt Chamberlain was growing up in the same neighborhood at the exact same time.

Can you upload stories from the archive, without someone having to die first?

[@morrisparrish76]

Sorta like the republicans in reverse: who want everything born & don’t GAF when or how they die!
