: The Faculty LoungePolice Force Alvin Ailey Dancer to Dance
By Kevin Maillard
A performer with the Alvin Ailey dance company was forced to perform dance steps for Israeli police to prove his identity, according to published reports in the international media.
Abdur-Rahim Jackson is traveling with the Alvin Ailey troupe in Israel, which arrived in Israel on Sunday, but he was singled out from other members of the group because of his Muslim name.
When Jackson identified himself as a member of the dance group, security officials at Ben-Gurion International Airport ordered him to dance to prove his talent.
UPDATE: I did not realize that my fellow blogger, Donald Tibbs, has already posted on this topic earlier this month, here.
