WHAT IS KWANZAA?
In 1966 Dr. Maulana Karenga created a uniquely African American holiday called Kwanzaa, which is celebrated from December through January first. Kwanzaa is related to many African celebrations of the first harvest. The name Kwanzaa comes from a Swuahili phrase "matunda ya kwanza", which is translated as 'first fruits'.
