SDARJ Town Hall celebrates Kwanzaa
The Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice (SDARJ) is extending an open invitation to “Kwanzaa: Habari Gani!”, an exploration and celebration of the African-American holiday, on Tuesday, December 14, at 7:00 p.m., online.
During the actual celebration of Kwanzaa, from December 26 to January 1, it is customary to greet friends and family with the Swahili phrase “Habari Gani,” meaning “What is the news?” Community activist Waynne Paskins will answer the question as she explains the history, meaning, and symbols of Kwanzaa. Lighting candles for each of the Seven Principles, participants will weave traditional themes of family, community, and unity.

The Lewes Board of Adjustment has voted 3-1 to uphold a commission’s authority to deny placement of a menhaden fishing net reel on the Lewes Historical Society’s campus.
Board member Luke Mette said the question before his body was not about the net reel, but rather the jurisdiction of the city’s historic preservation architectural review commission. Read the entire Cape Gazette article here.
