THE OFFICIAL KWANZAA WEB
SITE
http://www.officialkwanzaawebsite.org/
DEFINITION OF KWANZAA Kwanzaa is a unique African American
celebration with focus on the traditional African values
of family, community responsibility, commerce, and self-improvement.
Kwanzaa is neither political nor religious and despite
some misconceptions, is not a substitute for Christmas.
It is simply a time of reaffirming African-American
people, their ancestors and culture. Kwanzaa, which
means "first fruits of the harvest" in the
African language Kiswahili, has gained tremendous acceptance.
Since its founding in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga, Kwanzaa
has come to be observed by more than18 million people
worldwide, as reported by the New York Times. When establishing
Kwanzaa in 1966, Dr. Karenga included an additional
"a" to the end of the spelling to reflect
the difference between the African American celebration
(kwanzaa) and the Motherland spelling (kwanza).
