Lillian Colon, "Lilly: The First Latina Rockette" (Lilly Enterprises, 2021)
Manage episode 357230341 series 2421522
Lilly: The First Latina Rockette (Lilly Enterprises, 2021) is the improbable story of a Puerto Rican toddler, confined by her father for 15 years to a Bronx orphanage—the former Kennedy estate--and her emergence as a successful jazz and Broadway dancer on the way to becoming the first Latina Rockette. Equally important: a thoughtful exploration of Roman Catholic charitable institutions, the New York City’s fabled High School of Performing Arts, the uncertainties and brutality of Puerto Rican family life and the joy of discovering a Latina identity during a troubled time.
James Wunsch is Emeritus Professor of Historical and Education Studies at SUNY Empire State.
