When Lions Dance

by Caleb Alexander

When Lions Dance is a story about enduring friendships, perseverance in the face of intransigent evil, and overcoming edicts, monsters, and men. It is about being Black and a woman and navigating a world that is inhospitable to both. It is about overcoming loss, about dignity, family, and about fighting for a place a world that refused to acknowledge her very existence. When Lion’s Dance is a story that honors the unnamed foot soldiers of the Civil Rights Movement; the people who gave wind to the wings of those whom history would celebrate. It is the story of the women who, at great risk to life and limb, walked into the streets, bore the brunt of the dogs, the fire hoses, and the police batons, stood their ground, and roared.
