National: Families Begin Kwanzaa Observance
December 27th, 2008
Habari gani? Those who know the meaning of the Swahili question (“What’s the news?”) probably know that the proper response is “Kujichagulia,” or self-determination, the second principle of Kwanzaa. Thousands of Blacks across America observed the first day and principle of the annual holiday on Friday, celebrating “Umoja” or “unity.” Created by professor Maulana Karenga in the 1960s, Kwanzaa is observed from Dec. 26 through Jan. 1 with public and private candle-lighting ceremonies, African-inspired performances and ancestral tributes. A citywide celebration is underway in Pittsburgh, while communities from coast to coast hold Kwanzaa observances in homes, schools and museums. While churches have adapted Kwanzaa in recent years, the holiday is non-religious in nature and promotes the values that reflect success and progress in Black America’s history. Kwanzaa was inspired by an African celebration of first fruits at harvest time
