Long after the last leftover latke has been eaten and Santa has returned home to the North Pole, there s still one more December holiday to end the gift-giving season that s all about celebrating African American culture and community.
Kwanzaa, a seven-night festival, starts on Dec. 26 and ends on Jan. 1 with gift-giving and a festive feast of faith, known as Karamu Ya Imani. Each night, celebrants light a candle from the kinara
, a traditional candleholder, take sips from the same Unity Cup, called Kikombe cha Umoja, and discuss one of the seven principles of Kwanzaa, aka the Nguzo Saba: unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith.
