The City Of Lions TV series pays homage to, and tells the story of 71 Years of Inner-City Black Experiences in the United States. The COL story follows The Williams Family, as they fight for their slice of the “American Pie,” set to the backdrop of the sights, sounds, and unique culture of The DC Metro area.
Adapted on the novel “The Maryland Boys,” the story starts with an up and coming D.C. prizefighter named Max and his wife Billie in 1948.  Unbeatable in the ring, Max would be tragically cut down in the streets on the eve of the biggest fight of his career. But life goes on, as the family moves to the suburbs of Maryland and we ultimately see the rise of Max’s grandson Max II in the drug-filled 1980s.  But don’t get it twisted; “The City Of Lions” is not just another drug dealer story.  TCOL is all about coming of age, generational curses, and surviving the odds.
​TCOL also features Comedian Tony Woods of Def Comedy Jam fame.

For those that don't know, Dr. Frances Cress Welsing was a trailblazing Behavioral Scientist that devoted more than 45 years of her life teaching the world about the conscious and subconscious realities of Global White Supremacy.  Starting with her 1970 essay "The Cress Theory of Color-Confrontation and Racism (White Supremacy)" Dr. Welsing explained the pathology behind the inability of Whites & Non-Whites to be able to live in peace-the root of such being The Caucasian's genetic inferiority to the Non-White Worldwide Majority & fear of genetic annihilation.  The realities of Melanated versus Non-Melanated Peoples dictate that when The Whites inter-mix with Non-Whites, the offspring will also be Non-White is at the very core of Whites long history of seeking to dominate Non-Whites globally & enforce a Social, Political, Economic & Faith-Based Infrastructure that promotes the idea of White Supremacy and Black Inferiority.  This system is reinforced through many of the things that we see, say, and do almost daily-and they all are rooted in that fear of genetic annihilation.  Greatly influenced by the writings of Dr. Neeley Fuller, Dr. Welsing helped in getting his "The United-Independent Compensatory Code/System/Concept Textbook" to the masses before going on to publish her greatest work "The Isis Papers: The Keys to the Colors" in 1991.  Since then she has been highly in demand to tour the country speaking on the concepts she espouses on in her writings.  The Isis Papers decodes many of the things that we encounter and unknowingly participate in daily; and most familiar with her work would agree that her writing (while a great source of controversy) has become more and more relevant today than when she originally wrote the book in the late 1980's.   

“Most important, Black males must help one another to understand that they are being led by the dynamic of white supremacy to inflict extreme damage upon themselves, one another and ultimately the Black race. Black males must understand that, contrary to what is said, the war being conducted in urban centers is not against drugs but against Black males- for the purpose of white genetic survival...(It must be realized that no Black males manufacture the chemicals for drug use, nor do any Black males manufacture guns.)” 

Dr. Frances Cress Welsing was a native of Chicago, Illinois, born March 18, 1935.  Dr. Welsing earned her Bachelor's Degree from Antioch College in Ohio, and her Master's Degree from the prestigious Howard University College Of Medicine.  Dr. Welsing worked in general and child psychiatry, and was an assistant professor of pediatrics at the Howard University College of Medicine, when "The Cress Theory of Color-Confrontation and Racism (White Supremacy)" came out.  After controversy arose over her writing, her tenure at Howard University was removed in 1975.  Dr. Welsing also worked as a staff physician for The Department Of Human Services, Clinical Director over programs for emotionally troubled children in the Washington D.C. area.  She returned to the ancestors on January 2nd 2016, after having suffered a stroke.  Her presence will be dearly missed; but her teachings will live on FOREVER-if WE do are part to continue on with her legacy & instructions.  Salute!!!

"The inner city cultures of LA,, Chicago, Detroit and New York, among others have all been represented in books, TV, music, and film. The African American experience of “Chocolate” city, Washington, D.C. is the most unique of them all because of it’s language, indigenous cultural music, fashion and close proximity to the White house."
