Note
  • Pearl Primus (1919-1994) was an internationally recognized dancer, choreographer and anthropologist. She is best known for presenting African dances, which she researched in Africa, studying their function and meaning, and performed before American audiences. She and her husband and partner, Percival Borde conducted research in Africa from 1959 through the 1960s and established a performing arts center in Liberia. However, Primus found her creative impetus in the cultural heritage of African Americans, exploring racism, as well as the dignity, beauty and strength of black people. Primus received an M.A. in education (1959) and a Ph.D. (1978) in dance education from New York University.
