| Kwanzaa, is an African-American celebration of cultural reaffirmation,
is one of the fastest-growing holidays in the history of the world. It took root 30 years ago,
when graduate student Maulana Karenga, disturbed by the 1965 riots in Los Angeles' Watts area,
decided that African-Americans needed an annual event to celebrate their differences rather than the melting pot.
Not a religious holiday, Kwanzaa is, rather, a seven-day celebration that begins on Dec. 26 and continues through Jan. 1. |
