    Use Holiday Season to Teach Cultural Diversity
    By Jinny Gudmundsen
    Published on December 27th, 2002 During this holiday season, in between family get-togethers and traditional celebrations, consider using the Internet to broaden your child’s awareness of holidays other than the one your family celebrates. Here are two sites that can help teach about holiday diversity.
    Choosing Children's Software
    History Channel.com
    www.historychannel.com/exhibits/holidays/main.html

    The History Channel reviews the holidays of Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa. It explains the history of each and the associated traditions. Kids can discover how the traditions of decorating Christmas trees and sending Christmas cards started. They can view a list of “Amazing Hanukkah Feats” and learn about the seven symbols of Kwanzaa. Kids Domain.com
    www.kidsdomain.com

    For a more hands-on approach to exploring holidays, go to the Kids Domain site. It is a portal for holiday games, crafts, recipes, and e-cards relating to Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Ramadan. By clicking on a specific holiday in the “Holidays” section, children will find a wide assortment of activities. There are Hanukkah games, mazes, and word puzzles; Kwanzaa-themed word searches, crossword, and coloring pages; and Ramadan information and e-cards. Under “Christmas,” kids can send a letter to Santa, learn about how Christmas is celebrated around the world, or find Christmas recipes that are fun for the whole family to make.

Based on the first harvest celebrations of ancient Africa , the holiday holds fast to the idea that the promise of our present and the flowering of our future depend on our commitment to the cooperative creation and sharing of good in the world.

    Welcome! Login or Join for FREE! Harambee! Let's Get Together and Celebrate Kwanzaa! 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)
    Umoja (unity)
    Kujichagulia (self-determination)

    Kwanzaa - A Celebration of Heritage
    Kwanzaa was created by Dr. Maulana Karenga in 1966. It is celebrated through singing, speaking, dancing and reciting traditional. Kwanzaa is built on seven principles that are commonly known as "Nguzo Saba". 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
    Day 2 - innermost red candle - Kujichagulia - Self-determination
    Day 3 - innermost green candle - Ujima - Collective Work and Responsibility
    Day 4 - middle red candle - Ujamaa - Cooperative Economics
    Day 5 - middle green candle - Nia - Purpose
    Day 6 - outermost red candle - Kuumba - Creativity

    New traditions: Celebrating Kwanzaa
    By Anne Beal, M.D., Harvard Medical School
    Holiday parties, shopping, gift giving, getting together with family and loved ones: All are part of the holiday season. 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)
    Kujichagulia (self-determination)
    Ujima (collective work and responsibility)
    Ujamaa (cooperative economics)
    Nia (purpose)
    Kuumba (creativity)
    Imani (faith) What about Christmas?

    by Robert Rucker Kwanzaa in a nutshell is the brainchild of Dr. Maulana Karenga. 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. The third day, Ujima (collective work and responsibility) - to build and maintain our community together and to make our sisters and brothers problems our problems. The fourth day is Ujamaa (cooperative economics), this day symbolizes our need to own our own stores, shops, and other businesses so that we all may profit together. With Ujamaa in full swing we can end some of the poverty that exist in our community. The fifth day
