SECTION 1
KWANZAA
Dr. Maulana Karenga, professor and chairman of Black Studies at California
State University, Long Beach, created Kwanzaa in 1966. After the Watts
riots in Los Angeles, Dr. Karenga searched for ways to bring African
Americans together as a community. He founded US, a cultural organization,
and started to research African “first fruit” (harvest) celebrations.
Karenga combined aspects of several different harvest celebrations, such
as those of the Ashanti and those of the Zulu, to form the basis of the
week-long holiday.
