Kwanzaa begins
-- Kwanzaa is a pan-African holiday celebrating family, community, and culture - created by Dr. Maulana Karenga in 1966 - and celebrated from December 26th to January 1st. Gifts are given mainly to children but must always include a book and a heritage symbol. The book is to emphasize the African value and tradition of learning stressed since ancient Egypt, and the heritage symbol to reaffirm and reinforce the African commitment to tradition and history.
Read: Holidays Around the World: Celebrate Kwanzaa
-- Over the course of seven days, African Americans, families, and friends come together to light the candles symbolizing their past and future — and their unity. They gather as a community to make music and to dance; to feast on harvest foods and the good things of the earth; and to exchange simple, often homemade, gifts. Readers are introduced to the symbols of the holiday, such as the Mkeka (a special placemat), Kinara (candleholder), and Kikombe Cha Umoja (unity cup). Important concepts, like the seven principles, are explained. In addition, a note from the book's consultant, aimed at parents and teachers, puts the holiday in its full cultural and historical perspective.
