Why are so many Pioneers & Ogs so concerned with African American History ?
Preserving foundation and history is not living in the past. It is developing a base upon which to build a future on !
Before others change its purpose by setting a criteria that is false to its history.
It is very obvious in the worlds past, where a loss of history has given an opportunity to those seeking to rewrite it. Streetdance is the one thing created from the realness of a need. To lose that changes the movement of hiphop & street dances to simply the move of the day

HOW DID THIS DANCE ARTFORM HAPPEN?
WHAT INSPIRED THIS DANCE?
IS IT A MOVEMENT OR JUST A DANCE ?
The social connection to the era
Independent record companies such as Staxx, Motown and The Sounds of Philadelphia echoed the sounds which reflected the unity, pride and the struggles of our communities. They exposed the soulful harmony of well choreographed vocal groups and gave us the direct heart pounding inspirational music and lyrics of various bands. During these times, the struggle was revealed through the social conscious music sung by artists like Marvin Gaye, James Brown,Curtis Mayfield andIssac Hayes.
“YOU CANNOT KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING UNLESS YOU KNOW WHERE YOU BEEN”
unknown authors quote
The inner city communities of the United States were marked with racial and social unrest during the civil rights movement of the 1960’s. This generation saw leaders such as Malcolm X, Dr. Martin Luther King, Robert Kennedy and John Kennedy assassinated and, those times and struggles were reflected in this music.
The unity of dance and Locking was expressed at the 1972 Watts Stax concert

Our New Generation has been inspired by the old, However understanding the mission and resposibility to pass on the movement with respect is the challenge issued by the YOUR old school today,Back in the day social poets Gil Scott Heron put out that challenge to the youth of the 1960s & 70s,,,AND we responded ! YES THERE WAS RAP back then ,and there was a street movement ,Even though the term “HipHop hadn’t been coined back then
