A Kwanzaa Celebration - Echoes of Africa (1996) | Dorian Harewood

This program honors the uniquely African-American festival Kwanzaa. From December 26 through January 1, this relatively young holiday (devised in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga as an expression of black culture) celebrates the past and gives hope for the future. In A Celebration of Kwanzaa, film star Dorian Harewood (Roots, I'll Fly Away) provides an overview of Kwanzaa with instructions for observing the holiday. Dressed in beautiful formal African attire, Harewood is inspiring as he explains how to celebrate this joyous occasion with family and friends. The production is lovely, the "set" filled with African art and artifacts, and the traditional costumes reflect the dignity and beauty of Africa. For a basic overview of Kwanzaa, this tape is highly recommended. - Videolibrarian.com

Kwanzaa is a beautiful Pan African cultural celebration for seven days. I have been celebrating Kwanzaa for twenty-eight years in London. Kwanzaa is our Pan African cultural holiday socially, politically, spiritually, economically & culturally 100%..

I find this strange and privileging that in East Africa Kenya that a people once were in touch with their roots. Shout-out Dr Sabi. God is all y'all, like if you agree!

Nobody in Africa celebrates Kwanzaa. It's a made-up Holiday by some black American.

[@Metalcomedienne]

My family doesn’t celebrate Kwanzaa. ❤🖤💚

[@fuferito]

Strange how Maulana Karenga (born Ronald Everett) made up Kwanzaa as an alternative to Christmas, which he says is a “White holiday,” when Ethiopia was the first Kingdom to adopt Christianity as its state religion.

[@TheOpenSociety777]

Haaa, they had to get actors because NOBODY celebrates kwanza......😂😂😂btw, wasn't that actor in Full Metal Jacket??

[@adamsamuel8593]

Why is this not on tv in 2022? I thought people said they want equality, seems like it's just political games

[@couponnation]

Not interested in kwansa, I will stick with Christmas.

[@annecohen8927]

People may think it’s a modern holiday, but the concepts behind it is more ancestral, historical and cultural.

[@joshuawayneyork]

Can white folks celebrate Kwanza? Or is that considered "cultural appropriation"?

[@SIGSAUER_P320]

Kwanzaa=NONSENSE
