Birmingham Public Library: Pick Up Kwanzaa Grab-N-Go Kits This Week At Southside Branch Library

Press release from Birmingham Public Library:

December 20, 2021

Many persons of African descent will celebrate Kwanzaa between December 26 and January 1. Kwanzaa is a time when families and communities will come together to celebrate their rich African heritage and culture.

Kwanza falls between Christmas and New Year. Although many COVID restrictions have been lightened or lifted, many people are still struggling to find "normalcy" within themselves, within family, and within the community.

As the words "BLACK LIVES MATTER" continue to resonate across social media and elsewhere, I felt there needed to be a reminder WHY WE MATTER.

Our children need to know WHY WE MATTER. Kwanza is a reminder.
