Follow on Google News | NEW BOOK RELEASE-Break the Stage, by author Erik V WolterBreak the Stage, by Erik V Wolter, sends the message: Freedom is more than a legal status. Freedom means the chance, the ability, and the means to pursue our dreams.
"Being free won't guarantee people will respect you. Being free doesn't mean people will respect your dream of what you want in life... what you want to be. Where does that come from? How do you get anyone to listen?" Denied the freedom to communicate, against the rules of their owners, slaves clapped their hands, stomped their feet, and uttered sounds to preserve their culture. Step, or Greek Letter Style Stepping is a form of dance, innovated over 700 years ago of Afro centric origin. It has been modernized and popularized since as early as the Harlem Renaissance by historically African American fraternities and sororities, beginning in the early 1900s. But for Tia, as a black girl and supposedly free today, she couldn't help but wonder if slaves back then didn't want more than just being legally free. Author Erik V Wolter, screenwriter and former high school teacher in Florida, lives with his wife Nancy and their two dogs in Boulder, Colorado. www.breakthestagemovie.com www.fishersofmenent.com www.stepinschool.org End
