While our cultures maybe different, it’s never too early or too late to learn something new and celebrate with other’s who may be different than you!
Families celebrating Kwanzaa decorate their households with objects of art, colorful African cloth such as Kente, especially the wearing of kaftans by women, and fresh fruits that represent African idealism. It is customary to include children in Kwanzaa ceremonies and to give respect and gratitude to ancestors. Libations are shared, generally with a common chalice, Kikombe cha Umoja, passed around to all celebrants. Non-African Americans also celebrate Kwanzaa.
