KWANZAA


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'. 


If you want to know more things about this festival, here you have a presentation which contains more information.







In the next clip, you can see how a family celebrates Kwanzaa. In which way is it similar or different from Christmas?
