The stories we tell about Lindy Hop's history and passage through time is wildly important. Listen to Al Minns as he recounts an interview with Johnny Carson where he says how he (Johnny Carson) is amazed how jazz dancing had somehow or another been obliterated from the American scene. He said it's the only time in history that he knew where a country stamped out its own art form. And yet Black people still showed us what living resistance and resilience look like when they keep nurturing Lindy Hop.
