A holiday developed in the 1960s in responce to the black freedom movement. It was meant to instill pride in the black communities found throughout the world. It is not as widly celebrated as the media makes it up to be, due to it's placement right after Christmas. This holiday has no religious foundation. Kwanzaa it's self means "first fruits" in Swahili.
Kwanzaa is a time of gathering, and involves seven principals, each having their own day dedicated to their reflection.

Get the kwanzaa mug.This is a holiday invented in lieu of the the whole holiday season. The month of december was determind to be far to hectic as far a holidays were concerned. NObody could determine when ?haunaka? ended and kwanza began. Then you add in the two days of x-mass and some even have rhamadon that same time of year. It was deemed easiest to just place them all on one day,. and that day is december 13(picked from a hat), Kwanzanachuamass.
