The National Black L.U.V. (love, unity & vision) Festival was established by artists in the historic U-street community devoted to social change and uplift in 1997. Held every third Sunday in September, this FREE one-day multi-cultural outdoor event, uses thecultural arts as a vehicle to inform and enlighten communities of the Nation’s Capital.

The National Black L.U.V. (love, unity & vision) Festivals’ is the annual event hosted by Social Art and Culture (our new non-profit). It’s mission is to inform and enlighten communities on social injustice, healthcare (testing attendees for HIV/AIDS) and educational issues in disadvantaged communities and neighborhoods, domestically and internationally. NBLFs’ vision: improve economic development and opportunity in under-served communities by demonstrating and promoting information that will educate the attendees on social causes.

Yearly over 30 musicians, poets, and community organizations grace the main stage: The Last Poets, Amiri Baraka, Jessica Care Moore, Black Sheep, Yahzarah, Fertile Ground, Professor Griff (Pubic Enemy), Bomani, Asheru, and Raheem DeVaughn. NBLF created the Stop the Violence Hip Hop Award and Fannie Lou Hamer Award, which has honrored such Pioneers as Kurtis Blow, Roxanne Shante, African Bambata and France Cress Welsing. Partnered with Unity Health Care (Project Orion) BET Foundation, DOH, Whitman Walker Mobile Unit, and seven outreach HIV/AIDS organizations came out to counsel and test attendees. The National Black LUV Festival continues to conduct the largest annual HIV/AIDs mobilization testing initiative’s for Washington, DC.!
