Kwanzaa celebration goes virtual, finds rhythm in values
It s not a typical Kwanzaa, but the Wisconsin Black Historical Society is continuing the celebration while looking forward to a better 2021.
MILWAUKEE - On every Dec. 26 since 1987, the Wisconsin Black Historical Society opens its doors for the opening of Kwanzaa.
Executive Director Clayborn Benson said the annual event has grown substantially since the society began. Every year, in that tenure, we have celebrated Kwanzaa from seven people to 700 people, Benson said.
This year, that crowd will gather virtually. But still, Benson and the society recognize the importance of gathering to celebrate the holiday.
