Kwanzaa

I knew his son Tarik (a.k.a Todd Everett) from high school. He attended Fairmont High School in Kettering, Ohio. Tarik had a brother who was called "Tio" and a sister. Cannot remember sister's name. They lived on Mohican Drive.

I believe Maulana Karenga was married to Tarik's mother but had divorced before I met Tarik. I knew Tarik around 1985-1987.

Kwanzaa was first celebrated in the year of 1996.

Kwanzaa is not traditionally celebrated in Algeria, as it is an African-American holiday that originated in the United States to honor African heritage and culture. Algeria, located in North Africa, has its own rich cultural and historical traditions that differ from those emphasized in Kwanzaa. While some individuals with ties to the African diaspora may acknowledge Kwanzaa, it is not a widespread or recognized celebration in Algeria.

The seventh day of Kwanzaa is called Imani, which means "Faith" in Swahili. It is a time to reflect on the importance of faith in oneself, family, community, and the African heritage. Celebrated on January 1, Imani encourages individuals to believe in their potential and the collective strength of their community.

Kwanzaa is still celebrated as a way to honor African heritage and culture, promoting values such as unity, self-determination, and collective responsibility. Established in 1966, it serves as a cultural holiday that fosters community and encourages reflection on the African American experience. By celebrating Kwanzaa, individuals and families reaffirm their cultural identity and pass down traditions to future generations. The holiday also provides an opportunity to highlight the importance of community involvement and social justice.

If you're an atheist, then by definition, it doesn't matter what holidays you celebrate.

If you want to be nice to your spouse, then that's most likely the over-riding concern that determines how you want to conduct your celebrations, and you'd go through the motions of 'celebrating' or at least acknowledging whatever occasions [s]he wants to celebrate. A Jewish spouse that married an atheist ought to be quite easy to please.

On the other hand an atheist can participate in any holiday he wants as long as he finds the company of the other celebrants pleasant, the food enjoyable and the opportunity to interact with people he likes worthwhile. He is not constrained to celebrate only the appropriate holidays for his peer group.

In that sense, the atheist enjoys a unique flexibility, although it may justifiably be remarked that the line between participation and celebration has become fuzzy.

yes it is

GIFTS Kuumba (creativity) is greatly encouraged. Not only is Kuumba one of the seven principles, it also brings a sense of personal satisfaction and puts one squarely into the spirit of Kwanzaa. Therefore, those symbols that can be made, should be made. The giving of gifts during Kwanzaa should be affordable and of an educational or artistic nature. Gifts are usually exchanged between parents and children and traditionally given on January 1st, the last day of Kwanzaa. However, gift giving during Kwanzaa may occur at any time.

The name Kwanzaa comes from the Swahili phrase matunda ya kwanza, which means "first fruits of the harvest".

For Kwanzaa, kinara is the word for menorah.

Yes. Kwanzaa is a made-up celebration that was invented in 1966 by Maulana "Ron" Karenga. Karenga is a former black militant, an obvious Marxist, and a felon who hates white people. Kwanzaa masks itself as an "African" holiday celebration, despite the fact that it isn't celebrated ANYWHERE in the continent of Africa. It was developed as the black anti-Christmas. There isn't anything about this holiday that is not fraudulent.
