Kwanzaa


Kwanzaa:
A celebration of African heritage
A celebration of family, community, and culture.

The seven principles of Kwanzaa:
Unity

Responsibility
Cooperation
Purpose
Creativity
Faith

Kwanzaa
Building stronger communities
Building stronger families

Kwanzaa is an annual week-long celebration of African culture and tradition.  Each day is devoted to one of the seven principles. A different candle is lit each day. The seven days of Kwanzaa begin on December 26, 2012 and end on January 1, 2013.
