And these were the same people telling us that we had to “Lift ourselves by our own bootstraps”.

For generations, successful black business owners faced the threat of lynching. One such example: Memphis’ People’s Grocery in 1892.

This website was created to be a resource of information on the art of Capoeira Angola.

Here, you’ll find information about Capoeira Angola in all it’s aspects, including articles, music and songs, basic movements, etc.

Now mind you, this website is NOT supposed to be an end-all be-all for information about Capoeira Angola. What I post here is MY OWN OPINION.

And let me tell you, the more I learn about this art, the more I realize that I have alot more to learn.

This web site is an ongoing project, which means as time goes by, this site will change, just as Capoeira changes with time.

Things will be added, and things will be discarded. However, this website, first, last, and middle, will always be about the tradition of capoeira Angola.
