kwanzaa hat (English: Kwanzaa has)
Kwanzaa is an African American holiday that starts on December 26th and ends on January 1st. It was developed in the 1960s by Black Power activist Maulana Karenga as a way to celebrate black culture and bring together people of African descent. The holiday focuses on seven core principles: unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith. These principles are symbolized by seven candles placed in a kinara, which represents the seven days of Kwanzaa and the seven fundamental aspects of black culture. Kwanzaa is celebrated in various ways, including lighting candles, sharing a meal, and learning about the history and significance of the holiday. It is also observed by some non-black people who embrace its values and traditions. The holiday has become increasingly popular and is recognized by some as a cultural heritage worth sharing and preserving.
