Kwanzaa:
Kwanzaa: Swahili and Afro-American holy day. December 26-January 1 is Kwanzaa (Swahili for
“first fruits”), created by Maulana Karenga in 1967, based on a traditional Swahili festival for the first
fruits of the harvest, dedicated to the Seven African Principles. In the Swahili language the Seven
Principles are called the Nguzo Saba and are: Umoja, Kujichagulia, Ujima, Ujamaa, Nia, Kuumba, and
Imani. Umoja (unity) is to strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race.
Kujichagulia (self-determination) is to define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves, and speak
for ourselves. Ujima (cooperative work and responsibility) is to build and maintain our community
together and make our brother’s and sister’s problems our problems and to solve them together. Ujamaa
(cooperative economics) is to build and maintain our own stores, shops, and other businesses and to
profit from them together. Nia (purpose) is to make our collective vocation the building and developing
of our community, to restore our people to their traditional greatness. Kuumba (creativity) is to do
always as much as we can, in the way we can, so as to leave our community more beautiful and
beneficial than we inherited it. Imani (faith) is to believe with all our heart in our people, our parents, our
teachers, our leaders, and the righteousness and victory of our struggle. Celebrated by more than 20
million Blacks in the United States, Canada, England, the Caribbean, and parts of Africa with parades,

stories, feast on traditional foods, and exchange homemade gifts. In the Yoruban tradition the Seven
