From KETC, LIVING ST. LOUIS producer Anne-Marie Berger traces Katherine Dunham’s life, artistic career and influence on the people where she lived in East St. Louis, Illinois.

I was born and raised in East St. Louis and live far away from there now but my heart will always be there, in the American Bottoms. God Bless you Miss Dunham and rest in peace. You served your city well.

speechless…
Learning of Katherine Dunham’s legacy is a reminder of what it is to truly live life to it’s full potential. Far, far beyond simply doing for one’s self…..
Amazing
She was gorgeous and in her film appearances combined great art, great dignity, great grace and great stature with great sexiness. Articulate, dignified, fueled by a great fire for achievement and good works, she lived a model life in every way.
