Kwanzaa is an African American holiday based on African agricultural celebrations and collective principles which contribute to the unity and development of the African community. It was created by Dr. Maulana Karenga in 1966. Kwanzaa is a seven day holiday, celebrated from 26 December- 1 January. Karenga created Kwanzaa to introduce Black people new values which, if practiced, would give them a set of priorities and commitments, which would enhance their human possibilities, and lead to their liberation and a higher level of human life. These new values are the Nguzo Saba (the Seven Principles).", 12/23/1993
