Panel Discusses Black Dance in Magazines at the IABD Conference

Choreographer Tommie Waheed-Evans, Jelani Taylor, Norma Porter, Julinda Lewis and Dr. Adesola Akinleye have a lively discussion about Black Dance in Magazines.

African Americans have and continue to make significant contributions to the dance industry in the U.S. and abroad; however, Black dancers are marginalized due to lack of news coverage and funding opportunities. The invisibility of Black dancers in the media perpetuates racism in the dance industry, and the erasure of Blacks as pioneers in the field.

Watch as BDM Founding Publisher and Editor discusses this important issue with an accomplished, multigenerational group of leaders in the field.
