The piece pays tribute through dance to the Civil Rights Movement and the four little girls (Addie Mae Collins, Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, and Cynthia Wesley) killed in the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama. Kat is collaborating with her brother and musician, Royce Files, and fellow dancers Khensani Mathebula, Chelsea Parron, and Caci Pritchett from the 2015 graduating class of the Alvin Ailey/Fordham University BFA Program in Dance.
