Kwanzaa is the time of year when African Americans come together as a community to celebrate our culture and reaffirm our
African heritage. It is done by reflecting, reassessing, rewarding and rejoicing in an atmosphere of peace, respect and unity.
Please come and bring people with you. If possible, wear African attire.
