Coming Soon: Kwanzaa Jewelry Ideas!

December 21, 2006

I’m doing some research on Kwanzaa, created in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Ron Karenga to celebrate African American heritage. From the web site “Everything About Kwanzaa”:

Kwanzaa is a unique African American celebration with focus on the traditional African values of family, community responsibility, commerce, and self-improvement. Kwanzaa is neither political nor religious and despite some misconceptions, is not a substitute for Christmas. It is simply a time of reaffirming African-American people, their ancestors and culture.

The colors of Kwanzaa are red, black, and green. Kwanzaa begins December 26 and is celebrated for seven days, ending on January 1.
