Alvin Ailey (January 5th, 1931 - December 1st, 1989) Alvin Ailey Jr. was born on January 5th, 1931 in Rogers, Texas. At the age of 6, him and his mother moved to the small town of Navasota where he first experienced segregation and felt inspired by the black spaces, specifically the black church and theater. It wasn't until 1942 when him and his mother moved to Los Angeles where he started to fall in love with dancing. He attended Lester Horton's dance school. With a lot of back and forth between both Universities and the dance school after graduating high school, his final decision was to continue dancing and in doing so, moved to New York City in 1953 with Lester Horton and took over after Horton passed away that same year. From then on he achieved many successes on Broadway and in theater, including owning his very own company, The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in 1959 starting out with 8 black dancers, still standing to this day.
