Welcome to Litsy!

Based on a series of Pulitzer Prize-winning articles by Washington Post journalist Leon Dash, this is the harrowing true story of one black family's battle to survive against insurmountable odds. Rosa Lee spans half a century of hardship and struggle, as it chronicles the lives of Rosa Lee Cunningham and her children in the slums of Washington, D.C., a short distance from the towering monuments of the world's most prosperous nation.
