This week, the Kennedy Center presents Reframing the Narrative, a huge event centered on the abundance of Blacks in ballet and their contributions to the art both on and off the stage. Over the last year and a half, Theresa Ruth Howard, founder of Memoirs of Blacks in Ballet, and Denise Saunders Thompson, president and CEO of The International Association of Blacks in Dance, have been working with the Kennedy Center to craft the many moving parts of this carefully curated experience.
