For all the dancing Alice Barker did throughout her life, most notably during the Harlem Renaissance of the '30s and '40s, the now-102-year-old had never seen any footage of it. Sure, she has fond memories of the times when she danced alongside musical legends like Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly, but she never had the opportunity to be a spectator and watch herself in action. This reality would shortly change, thanks to David Shuff, the recreational director at the nursing home where Alice lives. Shuff, with the help of recreational therapist Gail Campbell, was able to track down someone with the sought-after footage - which was no easy endeavor. He got in touch with Mark Cantor, a jazz historian, who found plenty of videos and photographs of Alice and was happy to share them.
