Kwanzaa Fast Facts. Here’s a look at Kwanzaa, an African-American holiday celebrated each year from December 26 to January 1.
Kwanzaa is based on traditional African harvest festivals. Also spelled Kwanza. Maulana Karenga, a professor of Pan-African studies at California State University at Long Beach, created the holiday in 1966 to be a nonreligious celebration of family and social values. The name Kwanzaa is derived from the phrase “matunda ya kwanza” which means “first fruits” in Swahili. Karenga chose Swahili as the language of the festivities because it is a Pan-African language, not necessarily defined by a particular region or tribe.
