I had an opportunity to meet up with these young brothas from Colombia who recently went viral with their powerful and Afrocentric style of dance that rocked the very foundation of what it means to be black in the diaspora.
Jarlin, Ever, Roimán from Chocó, a mostly black region in Colombia's, shows us that no matter where we are placed in the world, we always carry the culture.

Dr. Frances Cress Welsing was a psychiatrist whose ideas about racism and society sparked years of debate and controversy. A native of Chicago who graduated from Antioch College and Howard University's medical school, Welsing rose to prominence after publishing an essay in 1970 titled "The Cress Theory of Color-Confrontation and Racism (White Supremacy)."
In that essay, Welsing put forth the idea that racism was a worldwide behavior – and that whites' status as a global minority feeds a fear that leads to oppression and violence.
Welsing later expanded on those ideas in a collection of essays titled The Isis Papers: The Keys to the Colors. In the introduction to that 1991 book, she described a "planetary game of chess" and stressed the importance of understanding racial behaviors and symbols.
Her critics felt Welsing took that analysis too far in some directions — as when she interpreted homosexuality as "a strategy for destroying Black people that must be countered" in The Isis Papers.
In a 1985 segment with talk-show host Phil Donahue, Welsing said that her thinking about racism stemmed from her work as a psychiatrist.
"I knew I had to understand racism to help solve the mental health problems of black people," she said.
While Welsing was famous for taking on broad questions of race and domination, she also spent decades working as a psychiatrist in Washington, where she was, according to a recent online biography, a physician for the Department of Human Services and as the clinical director of two schools for emotionally troubled children.
Calling for strong families and role models in the black community, Welsing wrote, "Children are the only future of any people."
Following the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act or 1965, Congress passed the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965.
Americans often think of civil rights legislation of the following years as being only pertinent to the African American community, but it in fact had important implications for the formation of migration policy.
