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.
