Kwanzaa, is an African – American celebration of cultural reaffirmation, is one of the fastest-growing holidays in the history of the world. It took root 30 years ago, when graduate student Maulana Karenga, disturbed by the 1965 riots in Los Angeles’ Watts area, decided that African-Americans needed an annual event to celebrate their differences rather than the melting pot. Not a religious holiday, Kwanzaa is, rather, a seven-day celebration that begins on Dec. 26 and continues through Jan. 1.

Great reading.
great to participate, I guess. it would be neat to go to a celebration. it would help me to experience ONEness with my fellow children of god.
What a wonderful world this would be if everyone were to live by the 7 principals of Kwanzaa.
Sometimes I think that our modern American society is missing so many spiritual values. and we are so quick to judge other people with wonderful spiritual values but who maybe have less money for power games.
When I read the news about the government it seems so spiritually bankrupt.
Good story, but I have the following observations.
It appears that Kwanzaa is more of a Black Pride movement than a religious celebration. From Kwanzaa’s beginning and its association with the Black Panther movement, Marxism, and Anti-American philosophies, the goals of Kwanzaa appear to be Anti-Christian.
Historical documents and statements from Kwanzaa’s founder appear to reaffirm a movement based more in afro-centric politics and less in deeply held religious beliefs.
I pose this question to myself: If Jerry Falwell’s Baptist ministry would have viscously attacked another race of people and denounced Christianity as spookism, would he have a ministry today? I suggest he would be out of the ministry business.
America, what a wonderful country. It is a place where the founder of Kwanzaa can still have a Kwanzaa ministry at UCLA preaching his Marxist and Anti-American ideas. God Bless America.
