"MANY CELEBRATE THE AFRO-AMERICAN PAN HOLIDAY OF KWANZAA"
Kwanzaa is not considered a religious or religion related holiday, but is a practice among Afro-American families to become more in the spiritual attributes of a better life among their own families and those they also connect to in their lives. The celebration is daily from December 26-January 1st.

TODAY: UMOJA

Umoja means unity

The first candle of the Kinara is lit on December 26th.
It is the black candle and sits in the middle of the Kinara.
For the unity and togetherness and family wholeness.

We have celebrated Kwanzaa in my family for many years and it is very beneficial to us. Kwanzaa is a time to recognize the positivity of others, as well as the Creator's presence in our people. My children love attending the Kwanzaa celebrations in the community and listening to the storytelling which is a part of our rich tradition of oral history.

I wish all of you a Happy and Safe Kwanzaa!
