Learning about Kwanzaa Many thanks to Mrs. Kim Manigault, her mother, and her friend for coming to Market Street School to teach our first graders about Kwanzaa. Kwanzaa is a unique African American celebration that begins on December 26th and ends on January 1st. It is based on the Nguzo Saba, the seven guiding principles: Umoja: unity Kujichagulia: self-determination Ujima: collective work and responsibility Ujamma: cooperative economics Nia: purpose Kuumba: creativity Imani: faith We learned about the Mkeka (placemat), Kinara (candle holder), Mazao (fruits and vegetables), Kikombe cha umoja (unity cup), Vibunzi/Muhindi (ears of corn, one for each child in the family), Mishumaa saba (seven candles: one black, three red, and three green), and Zawadi (gifts, usually homemade). We also learned how to say Habari gani , which means What's the news?

Search the Site: news community diaries shop Kwanzaa A Magical and Meaningful Holiday By Jennifer Newton Reents Kwanzaa is an African-American holiday observed by more than 28 million people worldwide that celebrates family, community and culture. The seven-day holiday is observed throughout the world from December 26 through January 1 and is rooted in the ancient African first-fruit harvest celebrations. In Swahili, Kwanzaa means "first fruits." The modern day holiday, however, began in 1966, developed by African-American activist Maulana Karenga. African Americans who celebrate Kwanzaa do so for the same reasons those from other cultures celebrate other holidays – "to teach and reaffirm cultural views, values and practices of a people," says Karenga, who serves as head of the Department of Black Studies at California State University in Long Beach, Calif. The celebration encompasses five fundamental activities: Gathering of family, friends and community. Reverence for the creator and creation (including thanksgiving and a recommitment to respect the environment and heal the world).

In the Light Lane Students learn the lessons of labor by 'becoming' workers, employers. High school students are now bargaining for seniority, medical benefits, and even higher wages. Well, sort of. They're participating in a program created seven years ago by two Los Angeles teachers and now being expanded nationwide by the George Meany Center for Labor Studies in Silver Spring, Maryland. Called the Collective Bargaining Education Project, its showcase component is a day-long simulation in which students assume the roles of workers and employers. Funded with public and private dollars, the project seeks to close a critical gap in high school learninglabor history, workers' rights, and social justice. And by all accounts, it's working. "Many teacher activists see a big hole in the curriculum regarding working people," says project coordinator Valerie Ervin. "Since it's not there, we need to put it there. Teachers are crying out for innovation."

Kwanzaa A Celebration of Family, Community and Culture ORIGINS Kwanzaa is an African American holiday celebrated from December 26th through January 1st. It is a time for gathering of the people for celebration of their heritage and their achievements, reverence for the Creator and creation, commemoration of the past, and recommitment to cultural ideals and celebration of the good. It is based on the agricultural celebrations of Africa called "the first fruits" celebrations. It is important to note that Kwanzaa is a cultural holiday, not a religious one, thus available to and practiced by African Americans of all religious faiths. Kwanzaa was created in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga, professor and chair, Department of Black Studies, California State University, Long Beach. Dr. Karenga is an author and scholar-activist who stresses the indispensable need to preserve, continually revitalize, and promote African American Culture. THE FUNDAMENTAL VALUES OF KWANZAA Kwanzaa was created to introduce and reinforce seven basic values of African culture which would contribute to building and reinforcing community among African American people. These values are called NGUZO SABA (N-goo-zoo Sah-bah) which in Swahili means Seven Principles . These principles stand at the heart of the origin and meaning of the Kwanzaa, for it is these values which are not only the building blocks for community but serve also as its social glue. The
