Here’s why Kwanzaa is an important holiday to celebrate

Kwanzaa is a cultural holiday that celebrates African American heritage and culture. It is celebrated from December 26th to January 1st every year, and it was created in 1966 by Maulana Karenga, an African American professor of Africana Studies. Kwanzaa has seven core principles—or Nguzo Saba—that are intended to bring people together and help them live joyous and productive lives.
