Misty Copeland made history as the first African-American principal ballerina at the American Ballet Theatre. But achievement never happens in a void. Supporting her rise was her mentor Raven Wilkinson, who had been virtually alone in her quest to breach the all-white ballet world in the 1950s and 60s.
This is the story of two trailblazing ballerinas, their friendship, and how they changed each other—and the dance world—forever. Misty Copeland shares her own struggles with racism and exclusion in the pursuit of her career and honors the women whose contributions have gone unheralded.
