Synopsis The African American Experience of “Chocolate City” Washington, D.C. is the most unique due to its language, indigenous cultural music, fashion, and its close proximity to The White House. Black Family Life in The DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia Area) has never been properly presented to the world until now. The City Of Lions will now bring the true culture for all to see. Travel with The Williams Family along The American timeline starting from 1949, and right into The COVID-19 Era, as they pursue “The American Dream.” Experience the fashions, historical landmarks, music, and overall rich history of the most powerful city in America through the eyes of The Williams Family. Family patriarch Max Williams has big dreams of taking his wife Billie away from the harsh D.C. streets they were raised in. The undefeated 21-0 lightweight prizefighter is the pride of his D.C. neighborhood.
The family story, as told by Max’s grandson Mujahid Muhammad-Williams, is a true testament to the perseverance of the African American family amidst the many challenges to survive in America.
