Kwanzaa is a week-long celebration held from December 26 to January 1, celebrating African American culture and heritage. Created by Maulana Karenga in 1966, it emphasizes seven guiding principles: unity, self-determination, collective work, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith. Families gather to light candles, share stories, and honor ancestral ties.
