An unexpected detour can change the course of our lives forever,
and, for white American anthropologist Margaret Willson, a stopover
in Brazil led to immersion in a kaleidoscopic world of street
urchins, capoeiristas, drug dealers, and wise teachers. She and
African Brazilian activist Rita Conceicao joined forces to break
the cycles of poverty and violence around them by pledging local
residents they would create a top-quality educational program for
girls. From 1991 to the graduation of Bahia Street's first
college-bound graduate in 2005, Willson and Conceicao 's adventure
took them to the shantytowns of Brazil's Northeast, high-society
London, and urban Seattle. In a narrative brimming with honesty and
grace, Dance Lest We All Fall Down unfolds the story of this
remarkable alliance, showing how friendship, when combined with
courage, insight, and passion, can transform dreams of a better
world into reality. Watch the book trailer:
