Happy Kwanzaa! Let's celebrate African American culture, history, and community this holiday and throughout the year. ❤️🖤💚

Kwanzaa was created in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga, an activist and professor of Africana Studies at California State University, Long Beach. The holiday's name comes from the Swahili phrase matunda ya kwanza, which means "first fruits." Kwanzaa is based on African harvest festivals from West, East, and Southeast Africa. 

Kwanzaa's goal is to preserve, revitalize, and promote African American culture. It's a time to celebrate family, community, and culture, and to affirm Black people's humanity, contributions to society, and resilience in the face of oppression.

Kwanzaa culminates in a communal feast called Karamu, usually on the sixth day. The holiday also includes celebrating famous Black heroes and heroines, as well as late family members.
