Kwanza? Haven’t heard anything about it in ages.

Did a search and our local station had a piece on it, by that exact title.

And that was back in 2015. Wonder if they're still celebrating it?

I find it a made-up holiday, not amounting to much.

It was a very special holiday for Harris.

I still get my dad Kwanzaa gift cards when I can find them.

She was two when the "holiday" was invented. What are the odds that her family "celebrated" it as she was growing up. She was 18 in 1980. Had anyone, anyone, you know heard of Kwaanza at that time?

Nope.

No.

And our workforce was almost 35% black.

As we prepare to celebrate the 58th Kwanzaa let us all embrace the harvest festival traditions and the Seven Principles.
