home Kwanzaa Kwanzaa is an African-American holiday about the festival of the first harvest of the crops. It begins on December 26, and lasts for seven days. The name Kwanzaa, sometimes spelled Kwanza, comes from a phrase which means "first fruits" in Swahili, an East African language. Kwanzaa was created by Dr. Maulana Karenga in 1966. It is celebrated through singing, speaking, dancing and reciting traditional. Stories. Kwanzaa is built on seven principles that are commonly known as "Nguzo Saba". These principles are: umoja - unity ujima - collective work and responsibility nia - purpose imani - faith kujichagulia - self-determination ujamaa - cooperative economics kuumba - creativity There are many symbols of Kwanzaa. The Kwanzaa candelabra is called a kinara. The straw mat that the kinara is placed on is a mkeka. Ears of corn are also placed on the mat, one to represent each child in the household. They are called the vibunzi (or muhindi). A fruit basket is placed on the mkeka, and is called the mazao. The unity cup is also placed on the mkeka, and is called the kikombe cha umoja. The seven candles that are placed in the kinara are called the Mishumaa Saba. Finally, all the gifts are called the zawadi and are traditionally given on Imani - the last day of Kwanzaa. On the evening of Kuumba (December 31) there is a feast called Karamu. This is the main focus of Kwanzaa where cultural expression is encouraged. This is practiced to bring all participants closer to their African roots. The program for the Karamu generally involves a welcome, a remembrance of ancestry, a reassessment of situations, a recommitment to values, a rejoicing, a farewell statement, and a call for greater unity.

But many African American families, concerned about the materialism associated with Christmas, use Kwanzaa as a way to remind their children of other important values. Maulana Karenga, now chairman of the black studies department at California State University in Long Beach, created Kwanzaa in 1966. This cultural, non-religious celebration revolves around the Nguzo Saba ("seven principles" in Swahili), designed to promote strength and unity in black families and communities. African Americans celebrate the holiday over seven days between Christmas and New Year's Day, with each day dedicated to one of these principles: Umoja (unity) Kujichagulia (self-determination) Ujima (collective work and responsibility) Ujamaa (cooperative economics) Nia (purpose) Kuumba (creativity) Imani (faith) What about Christmas?

PRINT THIS STORY Holiday hype: Retailers learn Kwanzaa's not a big seller Last Updated: Dec. 10, 2002 Small Business Tannette Johnson-Elie E-MAIL ARCHIVE Kwanzaa is the non-religious, cultural holiday that was developed by an African-American scholar during the 1960s to help African-Americans focus on their history and culture to counteract the commercialism of Christmas, a time when many Americans overspend as a matter of tradition. Although a lot of good was intended by Maulana Karenga when he developed the holiday in 1966, the reality is that today, Kwanzaa is not as widely embraced and celebrated by African-Americans in this country as it is portrayed by the media. Kwanzaa, which means first fruits of the harvest in Swahili, is celebrated from Dec. 26 to New Year's Day. In recent years, retailers increasingly have jumped on the Kwanzaa bandwagon. They've been lured by the vast spending power of African-Americans, who now have an estimated purchasing power of $602 billion, according to Target Market News, which tracks black consumers. But they're going after a market that, quite frankly, isn't there.

Mini-Unit/Draft Subtopic: Kwanzaa Grade Level: Author: Joy R. Lazenby Background: Kwanzaa is a happy and spiritual holiday for African-Americans. The word Kwanzaa means "first" in Swahili, a language used in Africa, and has to do with harvest. Not all African-Americans celebrate Kwanzaa, and it has no ties to any religion. The main purpose or focus of Kwanzaa is to strengthen the black families. This celebration lasts 7 days starting on December 26 and ending on January 1. There are seven principles to live by that are celebrated during the 7 days of Kwanzaa. One principle is celebrated each day. The seven principles are then to be lived throughout the year to unify the family and remind them of their black heritage. The seven principles of Kwanzaa are Umoja (oo-MOH-jah) meaning unity, Kujichagulia (koo-jee-cha-goo-LEE-uh) meaning control of your own life, Ujima (oo-jee-MAH) meaning working together and responsibility, Ujamaa (oo-jah-MAH) meaning sharing money and profits, Nia (NEE-ah) meaning having a purpose or reason, Kuumba (koo-UM-bah) meaning to be creative, Imani (ee-MAH-nee) meaning having faith. Black families are encouraged to talk about these principles and learn from the past, so that they can understand what they are going through now, and what they could do in the future to make things better. Along with the principles of Kwanzaa, the flag, adopted by African-American liberation in the 1960s, displays the three colors of Kwanzaa; red, black and green. Red represents courage and blood. Black represents the skin of black people. Green represents the land and the harvest.
