The central cultural values of Kwanzaa: Unity, Self-Determination, Collective Work and Responsibility, Cooperative Economics, Purpose, Creativity, and Faith are interwoven into a fun and engaging program that will have the audience spontaneously joining in. Kwanzaa, created in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga, is a seven-day cultural festival that is observed from December 26 and ends January 1. TAHIRA will share how the seven principles of Kwanzaa are upheld throughout the year and are central to community and culture in the African Diaspora. This program is for all ages; please register.
