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.
