Kwanzaa is an annual celebration of African-American culture from December 26 to January 1. Do you celebrate Kwanzaa? Why or why not?
Paris Berry, Washington, D.C.
Absolutely. I was raised on Christmas and still celebrate. However, the tenets of Kwanzaa are important, and we have a ball celebrating our culture and heritage.
Sheerin James, Washington, D.C.
No. It wasn’t known in the Caribbean. I only heard about it as an adult. And to be honest, I can’t say I have ever looked into it.
Eric Davis, Washington, D.C.
Yes, and improving on it every year!
Karen Hooks, Baton Rouge, La.
I would love to, but I don’t know where to start.
Phil R., Willingboro, N.J.
Absolutely! It’s a beautiful and amazing holiday for our people. It brings me much pride and happiness each year.
