MILWAUKEE â With powerful beats and passionate movements, Ko-Thi Dance Company has been helping bridge a cultural gap in Milwaukee for 52 years.
Ko-Thi was created by Ferne Caulker, who was always drawn to dance. Caulker moved to Milwaukee from Sierra Leone when she was a teenager. While in school here, she noticed something was missing.
âWe covered every other culture on the planet but Africa,â Caulker said. âSo much has been omitted about people of color in curriculums.â
That set her on her path to use her love of African dance and culture to educate others. But doing so, as a young woman of color in the 1960s, was not easy.
