Kwanzaa

Wednesday, December 4 | 6 p.m. | Chandler Ballroom, Cedric Rucker University Center

Co-sponsored by the Black Student Association

As a means of unifying the African and African-American communities, Dr. Maulana Karenga established Kwanzaa, a non-religious holiday celebrating and honoring African culture and heritage throughout the world. A seven-day celebration, Kwanzaa features candle lighting, pouring of libations, and the culminating feast and gift giving. Please join us as we partake in the activities and rituals of Kwanzaa and enjoy a feast together.
