Celebrating Kwanzaa---Day 1, Umoja Means Unity!

About Kwanzaa...

Kwanzaa is an unique celebration founded in 1966 that takes place December 26th through January1st every year.  It encourages people around the World of African descent to restore a Universal Family Tradition and to strengthen bonds within the family and community.

Dr. Maulana Karenga is the founder of Kwanzaa. 

Through seven principles represented by the candles lit on the Kinara each day  during the celebration of Kwanzaa, we honor Our heritage as people of African descent who lost a great deal of our heritage through enslavement.
