"I don't think Ed Sullivan had anything to do with Carib Song"

- Katherine Dunham

About this Quote

Katherine Dunham was an American dancer, choreographer, and civil rights activist. In this quote, she is revealing her opinion that Ed Sullivan had nothing to do with the Carib Song. This is likely a reference to the Carib Song, a conventional dance from the Caribbean that Dunham popularized in the United States. Ed Sullivan was an American tv character and producer who hosted the popular variety program The Ed Sullivan Show from 1948 to 1971. It is possible that Dunham is indicating that Sullivan had no impact on the Carib Song, or that he did not offer the dance the acknowledgment it was worthy of. This could be a criticism of Sullivan's lack of appreciation for the Caribbean culture and its art forms. It could also be a statement of Dunham's pride in her own work and her desire to be recognized for her contributions to the Carib Song. Whatever the case, it is clear that Dunham does not believe that Ed Sullivan had anything to do with the Carib Song.
