In Their Footsteps - Joi Harper

Written by: Joi Harper
Performed by DeShaun Gordon King as part of Castle of our Skins' 2022 BSU Fellowship Concert: What is Black Creativity?

Program note: “I wrote this work as part of a larger project centered around Soul Food and Black Ancestry. In Their Footsteps is the story a Black perseverance. I am always in awe of how the Black community has overcome so much and still continues to push for more progress. It is In Their Footsteps that I have learned to face my own hurdles head on and keep moving forward.” - Joi Harper
