"One of the processes of your life is to constantly break down that inferiority, to constantly reaffirm that I Am Somebody."

"To be who you are and become what you are capable of is the only goal worth living."

“There was still no likelihood that we could make a living from dance. We were doing it because we loved it... We realized how full we felt; we were surrounded by music and dancing and joy.”

"Dance is for everybody. I believe that the dance came from the people and that it should always be delivered back to the people."

Alvin Ailey (Jan 5, 1931 – Dec 1, 1989)

You can blow out a candle

But you can't blow out a fire

Once the flames begin to catch

The wind will blow it higher

...

And the eyes of the world are watching now

Watching now
