History of Kwanzaa

Kwanzaa was created in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga, a professor of Africana Studies, as a way to promote African-American cultural unity and heritage. The name “Kwanzaa” is derived from the Swahili phrase “matunda ya kwanza,” which means “first fruits of the harvest.” The holiday was designed to be a week-long celebration that incorporates African traditions and values.
