Alvin Ailey – American Dream? The story of Alvin Ailey’s life is an indisputably American story – not the story of the privileged, instead a tale that begins in the segregated south (Texas) in 1931. Ailey’s mother was a teenager who had married a handsome boy at church, but within a year Alvin’s father (Alvin Ailey senior) was gone. Alvin’s early life was spent in rural Texas, moving from home to home and then suddenly, as a teenager, Alvin and his mother moved to Los Angeles where there were more opportunities for a better life.
