A Guide to Kwanzaa
|
|
|
Kwanzaa (kwaan·zuh) is an annual celebration held from December 26 to January 1. Based on ancient African harvest celebrations, Kwanzaa is a non-religious, seven-day festival that celebrates African heritage, unity, and culture. It was created in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga, the Chair and Advisor of Africana Studies at California State University – Long Beach.
The name Kwanzaa derives from the Swahili phrase, matunda ya kwanza, meaning “first fruits of the harvest”. Each day, one of the seven principles of Kwanzaa, called Nguzo Saba (en·goo·zo sah·bah), is celebrated: Umoja, Kujichagulia, Ujima, Ujamaa, Nia, Kuumba, and Imani.
