<description>&lt;p&gt;Today we present the second of two episodes featuring Karen Valby, author of &lt;em&gt;The Swans of Harlem: Five Black Ballerinas, Fifty Years of Sisterhood, and Their Reclamation of a Groundbreaking History. &lt;/em&gt;The book records the largely forgotten stories of five Black ballerinas who changed the art form. Their stories are surprising and vivid and poignant… and totally worth your time if you enjoyed our most recent season of The Turning. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In our second episode of the series, Karen Valby speaks with former ballerina and founding member of the Dance Theater of Harlem, Sheila Rohan.
