Perspectives S38/Ep 6 Celebrating Culture with Alvin Ailey and football

Few artistic institutions carry the weight of history, excellence, and cultural truth quite like the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. For more than six decades, Ailey has told our stories—stories of struggle and triumph, sorrow and joy—through movement that speaks when words fall short. Today, I’m joined by a woman who understands that legacy not just as a scholar and leader, but as a steward of its future. Alicia Graf Mack is a celebrated dancer, educator, and now one of the guiding voices helping shape the next chapter of Ailey—where tradition meets innovation, and where new generations see themselves reflected on the world’s greatest stages. And the Super Bowl is today. We talk with former GM, analyst, player and author - Frank Lombardi about his book Football Done Right.
