In 1966, Kwanzaa emerged as a holiday to strengthen Black folks’ connection with their African roots. Although many celebrated in the 70s and 80s, Kwanzaa has seen a decline in popularity with only 4% of Black Americans observinging it today. Host Roy Wood Jr. sits with culinary historian and author, Dr. Jessica B. Harris, and segment director, Chinisha Scott, to help define Kwanzaa and provide modern ways to celebrate with friends and family.

Kwanzaa is nothing but a natural return to OUR ORIGINAL CULTURE. Our HOLYDAYS, our CULTURE, our MENORAH, our WAY of LIFE was stolen by those that claim to be US and are NOT.
ReplyThe jewish state today is a counterfeit. The fact that those called “black” attempted to create a separate day of celebration from american culture to attempt to celebrate our own culture and that attempt contains every similar trait of what is known today as Hanukkah, should be a very strong testament to who we are as a nation/family of people.
I live in the suburbs of Detroit. We celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas and Kwanzaa (in that order). It makes for an interesting December. Enjoy your holidays.

ReplyWhat is Kwanzaa?
ReplyThank you Chinisha, Jessica, and Roy. Thank you
ReplyHad me til she used Michael Jackson as an example
ReplyI have no Beef with Kwanzaa. Welcome it and accept it. But I don’t look at it as America Black cultural celebration. American blacks have no ties to Africa.
