Description
Kwanzaa is an African American and Pan-African holiday which celebrates family, community and culture. Celebrated from 26 December thru 1 January, its origins are in the first harvest celebrations of Africa from which it takes its name. The name Kwanzaa is derived from the phrase "matundaya kwanza" which means "first fruits" in Swahili, a Pan-African language which is the most widely spoken African language.
