Choreographer Bill T. Jones
The 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth inspired the choreographer Bill T. Jones to explore the sixteenth president’s life in two major works: Fondly Do We Hope ... Fervently Do We Pray and Serenade/The Proposition. The often-provocative Jones joins us to talk about the meaning of Lincoln from a contemporary African-American perspective. And, he discusses the arrival of his Broadway musical Fela!, inspired by the life of African musician Fela Kuti.
