Katherine Dunham Person of the Week ABC News World News Tonight 1992

Katherine Dunham, Person of the Week, was produced by Stu Shutzmano, edited by Melvin McCray III, and the correspondent was Forest Sawyer, who was sitting in for World News Tonight anchor Peter Jennings. Dunham was a world-renowned dancer, choreographer, and anthropologist. She developed the Dunham dance technique, which influenced dancers and choreographers worldwide. Dunham studied Haitian religion and culture and maintained a home in the Caribbean island nation for decades. In 1992, at the age of 82, she went on a 45-day hunger strike to protest the deportation of Haitians who were arriving in Florida by boat after fleeing repression in Haiti. Because of her sacrifice to highlight the unfair treatment of Haitians, she was named Person of the Week.
