Title image for Kwanzaa

Kwanzaa, celebrated from December 26 to January 1, is an African-American cultural holiday honoring heritage, unity, and community. Created in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga, Kwanzaa is based on seven principles known as the Nguzo Saba, which emphasize values like self-determination, collective work, and purpose. Each day of the week is dedicated to one principle, with the lighting of candles on a special kinara. Families celebrate with storytelling, music, dance, and feasts, reflecting on African history and fostering a sense of pride, solidarity, and cultural identity within the community. Kwanzaa is not religious, but a cultural observance.
