Saturday, December 26 CAPITOL KWANZAA CELEBRATION

  
Join us at Noon, Saturday, December 26, 2015, in Room 126, when our California State Capitol will come alive with our annual Capitol Kwanzaa Celebration, showcasing the restoration of "Agriculture as the Foundation of our Culture."
 
In 1966, Dr. Maulana Karenga founded Kwanzaa as a spiritual, festive, joyous celebration of the oneness and goodness of life. Kwanzaa celebrates agriculture as a way of life. Kwanzaa is a living social practice and Kwanzaa is a time of remembering, reassessing, recommitting, rewarding and rejoicing.

This 50th Anniversary of the Nguzo Saba, pause and imagine globally, people of African Ancestry valuing a sustainable approach and scientific methodology toward expanding an ancient/future understanding of the "first fruits of the harvest."

Come and share a wonderful tradition, celebrating our "California Grown" global holiday in our California State Capitol. A wonderful Pan Africa conversation is planned, followed by a reception. All are welcome!

Please see our press release for the 7 Principles of the Nguzo Saba (n-Goo-zo Sah-bah) and Kwanzaa Symbols.
