It is quickly becoming one of my favorite Summer rites of passage each year it comes round. Everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY was out, showing the power of Black love, pride, and history. I tried to capture as much of the essence of the festival as possible, as I said tried, but the pictures only scratching the surface. The smells, the sound, the buzzing chatter of conversation, you need to expericence first hand for yourself. Enjoy what I got.

Did you get a chance over the weekend to slide through to the annual Dance Africa Festival down at BAM? If not, then brother/sister you missed a HELLOVA celebration!
