Linda will share the stories of more than 30 African American women and men, including entrepreneurs like Oprah Winfrey, Civil Rights Activists Rosa Parks and Ida B. Wells, entertainers such as Nat King Cole, as well as Jackie Robinson, Ernie Banks and other incredible athletes. As Linda believes, "We are the lions. We must tell our stories!"
