Arthur Mitchell

A copy of The Swans of Harlem stands next to an open laptop. The cover of the book is gold, with black and white photographs of five Black ballerinas in retiré, leaping, and posing in arabesque and with a pointed foot. The book’s subtitle is also visible on the cover: Five Black Ballerinas, Fifty Years of Sisterhood, and Their Reclamation of a Groundbreaking History.
