Kwanzaa
The year 2017 will see the 51st annual Kwanzaa, the African American holiday celebrated from December 26 to January 1.
It is estimated that some 18 million African Americans take part in Kwanzaa. Kwanzaa is not a religious holiday, nor is it meant to replace Christmas. It was created by Dr. Maulana "Ron" Karenga, a professor of Black Studies, in 1966. His goal was to design a celebration that would honor the values of ancient African cultures and inspire African Americans who were working for progress. Celebrants decorate with red, black, and green as well as African-style textiles and art.
