Kwanzaa is a 7-day African American and Pan-African holiday which celebrates family, community and culture. It is celebrated from December 26 to January 1 (This Kwanzaa celebration will end on December 31 because the Epic Center is closed on January 1.). Kwanzaa introduces and reinforces seven communitarian African values (principles), The Nguzo Saba: Umoja, Kujichagulia, Ujima, Ujamaa, Nia, Kuumba and Imani.
