That’s my momma in the yellow!!! Love you Mom ❤️
❤️🌹🙌🏾🙏🏾
aww*
These are amazing and beautiful women who need to be heard more often in the media. It's disgraceful how underrepresented black women are in the media.
Have you not been watching ABC? They over represented
They're not "over-represented" if this one in article is focused on them.
What beautiful women they are!
How marvelous these ladies are!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful story!!🥰❤❤❤👏👏👏
These ladies are beautiful. Thanks for sharing this story!!
Wow!! Thanks Mackenzie(sp?)
The Arts need the very Best. Glad these Women were able to Succeed.
Cecily Tyson wrote so lovingly about her friend Authur Mitchell and how he started the Dance Theatre of Harlem in her autobiography. 🖤❤️🖤❤️
Wow
Simply amazing! These ladies are so beautiful. MacKenzie Scott and Dan Jewett are using their superpowers for so much good!
These ballerinas are amazing
This is a story right here Ava, Spike or Debbie that should be bright to light while these ladies are still here. Here’s another part of black history that has been dimmed for ALL of us to see. Love it! Just Beautiful! 🥰🥰🥰
Its nice to learn history and Boy those ladies sure can dance so Gracefully
If your soul was made for ballet 🩰 you know who you are and your demographic shouldn’t prevent you from getting there! Think of our ballet academy in heaven! 🖤
Thanks for this story tonight from southern Colorado. It’s a fabulous story of hope and grace! Wow!
And it offended a bunch of racist Republicans.
'Ballerinas' ?
What, How, When.......
All praises due to our mothers and sisters 🙏🏾✊🏿
Hallelujah
With babe[BUT, probably, that's erroR\}, #Kicking...
Great story! It presents and uplifts the people of color in dance history and art as it should be.
The media should do more stories about race because we just can't get enough. I hate the way the media ignores race.
Republicans are constantly offended at any story about Black people or Asian people. It’s disturbing, but no wonder Trump retweeted “WHITE POWER” in June 2020. (Source: www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53212685.amp )
I mean, imagine being offended about amazing stories about these Black women. Republicans remind me of early 1930s Nazi Germany. And think of the clowns who vote republican still despite this.
Republicans have gone insane and almost like domestic terrorists.
@@blackout07blue I can't speak for Republicans because I'm not one but I don't think they would get offended by these absolutely amazing stories because they are very seldom on the news. Plus Republicans are probably so busy ironing their white hoods and making those nooses that are constantly being found, they probably don't have time to watch the news anyway.
@@blackout07blue LMAO anybody who doesn't like this story had gone insane and is just like a terrorist 😂
AAH IT IS COME
black ballerina's - 🖤.
Aside from the SJW comment. This was a very good story! These ladies were aware of what was going on outside in the world, but kept their minds focused on their art and to it's perfection in their dances.
Amazing❤️🙏🏾🙂
They are true pioneers
You know its interesting when it's more than 5 minutes
Thanks so much, from a dancer.
Hi ABC News, I like your content. I love watching your videos.
Beautiful
👏👏👏👏
BEAUTIFUL 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
and now they barely do their work not all but most

Never thought divorce was a good thing until Jeff Bezos have us MacKenzie Scott. Thanks Jeff I know you wouldn't do it. Here's hoping you get lost in space 😂!
Thank you for covering this story. How amazing! I had no idea. Would love to see more of the dancing. I wonder if white people were not allowed to attend? Just curious.
Lmao. I’m sure they were allowed. Stop playing the victim. I’m white and it’s embarrassing.
@@blackout07blue I am NOT playing the victim. I am also white. I am interested in the history. I grew up in New Jersey and had mixed race around all my life. Neighbors, friends, classmates, etc. I was not even aware of all that was going on as far as segregation, etc. At age 74, I am just learning of many things. So I am being serious and not sarcastic. Sorry if you were offended.
I am from NJ as well. Where have you been? The Dance Theater of Harlem and Alvin Ailey perform all over NJ, especially in Red Bank and Newark.
The arts are open to all. Just buy a ticket!!
@@cougarlady112 Hi, good to meet you! Where have I been? I have been living in Oklahoma about 50 years. I used to go home (NJ) to visit, but unable to travel now due to health. Maybe I did not learn anything in History class..🤔..Thanks for the information! Stay safe!
@@barbaraduffell8179, no problem. Yes, we did learn a little history in NJ but not enough for a real education. I am going to Tulsa next year to see Greenwood for myself and visit a dear friend in Ardmore.
I hope you take care of yourself and your health improves.
Investing in crypto now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.
Most intelligent words I've heard.
Crypto is the new gold
I wanted to trade Crypto but got discouraged by the fluctuations in price
I heard that his strategies are really good
Yeah, My first investment with Mr STEVEN CHARLES earned me profit of over $25,530 US dollars, and ever since then he has been delivering
Great information... if you confess Jesus is Lord, believe God raised Him from the dead you will be saved (fromhell) Romans10:9 Please repent of your sin and believe today. Dont be left behind.
Good lord. You’re infantile.
Is the message that art needs to be racial?
Republicans are literally racist against Black people regularly.
It’s no wonder Republicans are racist and offended about any story about people of color. Trump literally tweeted WHITE POWER in June 2021. Source: www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53212685.amp
Republicans are gutter trash.
@@blackout07blue , So far it seems you are the one fixated and prejudiced against imaginary bad people. It’s getting to the level of clinical psychosis.
@@blackout07blue , Clearly you have become more radical than the Capital “insurrectionists”. Your level of distain for your fellow Americans is shocking and sad.
hi his hilp 🤝👇

What was it like I be White Back in the 60s ?????
It was more normal to act like racist Republicans act now.
Blah blah blah no one cares
Thanks for the generous contribution.
lucky they aint looting
Classic racist Republican response. Taking after Republican officials and Trump who literally tweeted “WHITE POWER” 12 months ago. Source: www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53212685.amp
@@blackout07blue keep pretending somebody has to like you in your fantasy utopia. keep looting stores til NOBODY likes you. it's a genius plan.
@Pink Skin Can't Handle The Sunlight only on my giant *LIPS*
I am reporting your racist comment!
@@cougarlady112 LMAO @ you
Any who
hater.
@@QS0924 sure am
Who cares
Not republicans who take after Trump who tweeted WHITE POWER exactly 12 months ago. Source: www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53212685.amp
People care. Achieving recognition as a ballet dancer is huge. The American Ballet is the gold standard. The fact that Black folks created their own ballet companies changed the game opening up more opportunities for dancers of every ethnicity.
You probably would not understand because clearly you have two left feet and half a brain!
