Jacob’s Pillow is recognized for its contributions to the heritage
of the African diaspora: as a station on the Underground Railroad in
the 1860s; where local African-American entrepreneur Warren H. Davis
helped construct the Ted Shawn Theatre; where the theatre's first
season in 1942 featured African dance pioneer Asadata Dafora; and
where today the Pillow continues its commitment to present, teach,
document and support African and African-American dance.
