Kwanzaa

I found this information on a website called Thoughtco.com. The information here is by Nadra Kareem Nittle

"Kwanzaa [celebrated December 26 - January 1] is unaffiliated with a major religion. One of the newer American holidays, Kwanzaa originated in the turbulent 1960s to instill racial pride and unity in the black community ..."

 “Kwanzaa was created out of the philosophy of Kawaida, which is a cultural nationalist philosophy that argues that the key challenge in black people’s [lives] is the challenge of culture, and that what Africans must do is to discover and bring forth the best of their culture, both ancient and current, and use it as a foundation to bring into being models of human excellence and possibilities to enrich and expand our lives.”

I have included this here because diversity enriches my imagination, people finding different ways to celebrate speaks of joy.
