Happy Kwanzaa!

Kwanzaa begins on Friday, December 26 and the celebration continues through Thursday, January 1. The foundation of this holiday is the Nguzo Saba or the following seven principles, which are core to the observance:

 

    • Umoja - Unity
    • Kujichagulia - Self-Determination
    • Ujima - Collective Work & Responsibility
    • Ujamaa - Cooperative Economics
    • Nia - Purpose
    • Kuumba - Creativity
    • Imani - Faith
