Kwanzaa at UConn

 

Kwanzaa, first celebrated in 1966-1967 and founded by Maulana Karenga, is a week-long celebration held in the United States, as well as other regions of the Americas. The celebration honors African heritage in African-American culture, and is observed from December 26 to January 1, culminating in a feast and gift-giving.  On campus, Kwanzaa observances have been led by the African-American Cultural Center before students leave at the end of the fall semester.
