The legacy of Alvin Ailey has a powerful presence for those who appreciate the history of American dance, and American culture in general. This month in our podcast series, Alvin Ailey dancer and choreographer Matthew Rushing talks with Jess Van Nostrand about his memorable introduction to dance as a young man, and how he relates to our current Big Question, “How Are We Remembered?”

Thank you for the wonderful conversation, Matthew!

More about Matthew and is work can be found at www.alvinailey.org
