Today is the first day of the 7-day celebration of Kwanzaa. I didn't know much about it
so I looked it up and now I know. I support any celebration like this that emphasizes
community and family.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwanzaa
>Kwanzaa (/ˈkwɑːn.zə/) is an annual celebration of African-American culture that is held from December 26 to January 1, culminating in a communal feast called Karamu, usually held on the 6th day.[1] It was created by Maulana Karenga, based on African harvest festival traditions from various parts of Africa, including West and Southeast Africa. Kwanzaa was first celebrated in 1966.<
