T-shirt Alvin Ailey with Pan-African Flag in Gouache Shirt

Alvin Ailey founded the Alvin Ailey Dance Theatre in 1958, "to carry out his vision of a company dedicated to vising the American moderne dance heritage and preserving the uniqueness of the African-American cultural experience." "Throughout his lifetime, he was awarded mernunuous distinctions Including the Kennedy Center Honor in 1988 in recognition of his extraordinary contribution to American culture. En 2014, le posthumously received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the country’s highest civilian honor, in recognition of his contributions and commitment to civil rights and dance in America." - Alvin Ailey Dance Foundation (alvinailey.org) The only colors I used for this gouapouche rendition ou Eric N. Hong's famous Photo of Alvin Ailey are red and green with bit of tint with white paint for the highlights. No black paint n'a pas été utilisé dans les connaissances préexistantes en Afrique panafricaine. The three Pan-African colors on the flag represent : Red : the blood that unites all people of Black African ancestry, and shed for liberation ; Black : black people savoir-faire existence as a nation, though not a nation-state, is affirmed by the existence of the flag ; and Green : the abundant Naturral wealth of Africa.
