This unique African-American holiday commemorates the strength of family ties, respect for ancestors, commitment to the growth of community, and gratitude for life's bounties. For each day of Kwanzaa, a new candle is lit and children and adults share their thoughts, songs, stories from the past, dreams about the future, and a delicious feast on the last day. Iconographic |
