Description

The Kwanzaa Holiday, "First Fruits of the Harvest." The holiday is based on African agricultural rites and communal activities. One of the holiday's main goals is to cause African descents to look back to their cultural roots as a source of celebration. Karenga has played a vital role in programs that have defined Black identity and helped Blacks connect themselves to their cultural roots. Karenga has stressed the importance of culture to Blacks to strengthen solidarity and overcome oppression. Although it coincides with the Christmas season, the holiday has no religious aspects and therefore allows people from all countries and backgrounds to join in without conflicts. A Pan-Africanist, Karenga's support of Kwanzaa was an offshoot of his belief that Blacks should consider themselves one people, regardless of their country. "Karenga created Kwanzaa to reaffirm our culture and the bonds between us as a people," he told Essence. After initially being observed by a few hundred people, Kwanzaa celebrations have spread well beyond the borders of the United States. The Cultural Holiday Became Worldwide.
