Kwanzaa Festival
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.
