From December 26th through January 1st many African Americans celebrate a non-denominational holiday called Kwanzaa. During the 7 days of Kwanzaa, African Americans focus their attention on rededicating themselves to the 7 Principles (the Nguzo Saba) that form the structure of Kwanzaa. These 7 Principles are designed to be a guide for establishing a way of life that will provide African Americans with a method for relating to the past, understanding the present, and living life as a strong community in the future. Kwanzaa is, first and foremost, a holiday dedicated to strengthening and building a dynamic and rewarding African American community. History and Tradition An African American scholar and activist named Dr. Maulana Ron Karenga first developed Kwanzaa in 1966. Dr. Karenga felt that African Americans needed a holiday that related to the growth and development of the African American community and that would encourage social change. Every aspect that makes up the 7 days of Kwanzaa is specially designed to create an atmosphere that supports and aids the African American community in internalizing the Nguzo Saba. Every day the question "Habari Gani?" is asked. It means "What's the news?" The answer to this question is always one of the 7 Principles. The Nguzo Saba (Seven Principles)

These principles are: umoja - unity kujichagulia - self-determination ujima - collective work and responsibility ujamaa - cooperative economics nia - purpose kuumba - creativity imani - faith Kwanzaa was developed from elements of the African heritage. The African celebration of Kwanzaa was a ceremony of appreciation for the "first fruits of harvest". The four elements that made up the original African meaning of Kwanzaa were unity, awareness of ancestry and heritage, recommitment to traditional values, and reverence for creator and the creation. The modern celebration of Kwanzaa lasts seven days, from December 26 to January 1. Each of the seven days of the celebration is dedicated to one of the seven principles. Each day one candle is lit that represents each principle. Day 1 - middle candle - Black - Umoja - Unity

But many African American families, concerned about the materialism associated with Christmas, use Kwanzaa as a way to remind their children of other important values. Maulana Karenga, now chairman of the black studies department at California State University in Long Beach, created Kwanzaa in 1966. This cultural, non-religious celebration revolves around the Nguzo Saba ("seven principles" in Swahili), designed to promote strength and unity in black families and communities. African Americans celebrate the holiday over seven days between Christmas and New Year's Day, with each day dedicated to one of these principles: Umoja (unity)

Maulana invented the holiday one year after the Watts riots of Los Angeles to exemplify the rebuilding and unity of the black community that fostered after this violent event. Thereafter it has become responsible for inspiring Kwanzaa celebrations in England, Canada, Zimbabwe, and Kenya. The foundation of Kwanzaa (meaning first fruits in Swahili) lies in the Nguzo Saba, the Seven Principles which begins on December 26 to January 1. The Celebration The first day Umoja (unity) to strive for unity in the family , nation, and race. The second day Kujichaglia (self-determination) means that we will define ourselves, name ourselves, and create for ourselves.
