Ailey's "Revelations" draws on African American spirituals by Diana Chan

Ailey described "Revelations" as "an evening-long saga about the Black experience," and the performance had a huge impact on Black dancers when it premiered in 1960. "I was moved to tears seeing 'Revelations,'" said Mary Barnett, Ailey's rehearsal director from 1975 to 1979. The post Ailey's "Revelations" draws on African American spirituals appeared first on American Masters.
