The Shrine of Black Madonna 'Announces' Kwanzaa 2013

Kwanzaa, is a Swahili word which means "First Fruits," it is a seven-day celebration (December 26 - January 1) that reaffirms our "forgotten" African past, connecting us to the history and struggles of Black people the world over. In 1966 Dr. Maulana
Karenga created the celebration of Kwanzaa based on ancient African harvest celebrations. Kwanzaa pays tribute to the rich cultural roots of African heritage. It's goal is to help Black people define and develop, cultural and political unity. Kwanzaa's Nguzo Saba (N-goo-zoh Sah-bah) is a value system of seven communal principles designed to guide our struggle for Freedom and Self determination.
