Week–End Glory, Maya Angelou:

My life ain't heaven
but it sure ain't hell.
I'm not on top
but I call it swell
if I'm able to work
and get paid right
and have the luck to be Black
on a Saturday night.

Something extraordinary has come from the Black experience in America. We call it Soul!

It shows up in the way Billie Holiday sang her song.

We acknowledge it as Langston Hughes'
                           writing is described
                                         as jazz poetry

and Gregory Hines'
        dancing as poetry
                           in motion.

Minnesota Soul

Stairstep Foundation began in 1992 as a response to a set of crises/challenges that confronted African Americans. The Stairstep mission is to reignite and sustain a spirit of community among African Americans. Our quest for wellness requires that we confront the violence perpetrated on and within our community as a presenting issue, while we aggressively engage the root issues that rob our long-term peace.
