j's theater on Katherine Dunham

The legendary dancer, choreographer, dance troupe founder, dance ethnographer, and philanthropist Katherine Dunham passed away on Sunday at the age of 96. j's theater has a detailed and celebratory obituary which outdoes the New York Times elegant offering, with greater sentiment and historical depth. But all including SWEAT, offer stunning photos of Dunham throughout her life, looking and acting fierce and vibrant well into her 90s. Thank you Miss Dunham.
