☆ Terry Carter, Barrier-Breaking Actor and Documentarian, Dies at 95
  + stars: | 2024-04-23 | by ( Robert D. Mcfadden | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
His death was confirmed by his son, Miguel Carter DeCoste. Mr. Carter was raised in a bilingual home next door to a synagogue in a predominantly Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn. In his first stage role, at 9, Mr. Carter played the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama on a voyage of discovery. It was not him but a much younger Terry Carter who had died in a hit-and-run accident in Los Angeles by a pickup truck driven by the rap mogul Marion “Suge” Knight. Slightly misquoting Mark Twain, Mr. Carter posted on social media: “Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.”

☆ In Chicago, Keeping the Heritage of Black Dance Moving

On a warm July afternoon, Princess Mhoon, the director of the Chicago Black Dance Legacy Project, was sitting in a bustling cafe on the outskirts of the University of Chicago’s campus in Hyde Park. Her parents met in an African dance class, and her father was a drummer for local dance companies. So, we had cherry vitamin C — that was my candy.”Recounting her early life, Mhoon, 47, moved through a who’s who of Chicago’s rich Black dance scene. Mhoon trained in African dance with Muntu Dance Theater and learned techniques of the African American diaspora with Najwa Dance Corps, both near where she grew up on the South Side. Several of these companies are now being brought together by the Chicago Black Dance Legacy Project, an initiative that strives to help sustain Black dance makers in the city and offer lasting acknowledgment for their contributions.
