The Black Languages, Arts, & Culture FOUNDATION is based in the US and was founded by Dr. Edward L. Powe to create a greater awareness of and appreciation for the history and culture of Black peoples around the world. In short, the BLAC Foundation seeks to affirm BLACK HUMANITY and promote a psychic conversion that creates networks and groups that foster love, care and concern for and within black communities around the world. Just as the Chinese Republican period (1912-1948) heralded native fighting techniques as the means of rebuilding the spirits and the bodies of its citizens who were faced with the onslaught o Western athletics, so the BLAC Foundation has chosen Capoeira and Umlabalaba to help develop the bodies, minds, and spirit of Black citizenry. See www.blafoundation.org for articles, photo galleries, videos with context, and much more.
