"Do you know what it took for Balanchine to put me, a black man, on stage with a white woman? This was 1957, before civil rights. He showed me how to take her [holding her delicately by the wrist]. He said, ‘put your hand on top.’ The skin colors were part of the choreography. He saw what was going to happen in the world and put it on stage.” - Arthur Mitchell on Balanchine’s Agon Seen above: Original Cast Members Diana Adams and Arthur Mitchell
