Pre-Kwanzaa Celebration

Kwanzaa, observed annually from December 26 to January 1, is a celebration that honors African-American culture. The culmination of this week-long celebration is marked by a communal feast known as Karamu, typically held on the sixth day. Activist Maulana Karenga established Kwanzaa, drawing inspiration from African harvest festival customs originating from diverse regions in West and Southeast Africa.
