CELEBRATION
The Meaning of Kwanzaa. Kwanzaa is a Swahili word that means "first" and signifies the first fruits of the harvest. From December 26 to January 1, it is a special holiday celebration of people of African descent. It was created by Dr. Maulana Karenga.
As an African American and Pan-African holiday celebrated by millions throughout the world African community, Kwanzaa brings a cultural message which speaks to the best of what it means to be African and human in the fullest sense. Given the profound significance Kwanzaa has for African Americans and indeed, the world African community, it is imperative that an authoritative source and site be made available to give an accurate and expansive account of its origins, concepts, values, symbols, and practice.
