AUGUST 23: Spinning Tableau at the Monument
1769 SPINNING PROTEST REENACTMENT
"Herstory" by Maya Salafia
To celebrate the unveiling and dedication of Something Is Being Done, Maya Salafia, a graduate of Lexington High School, now a student at Berklee College of Music was invited to create a song that reflects a youthful perspective on the monument's theme. Maya's song celebrates women, makes them visible, promotes empowerment and honors their legacy.
​
The video was produced by Cheryl Meadow for LexSeeHer, in partnership with LexMedia.

Herstory
Maya Salafia
At the edge of the water
Diving deep into our past
She’s not just someone’s daughter
Carving paths out of this mess
Block out the noise
Let’s raise her voice
In the morning light
When the sun goes down
In a crowed room
Bring the shadows out
In the pouring rain we see her glory
Now let’s hear her story
​
o let’s just take a moment
Think about women we forgot
In the depths of the darkness
Speaking loud yeah she’s standing tall
​
Above the crowd
She’s living loud
​
In the morning light
When the sun goes down
In a crowded room
Bring the shadows out
In the pouring rain we see her glory
Now let’s hear her story
