KWANZAA

A Celebration of African-American Culture BY MARGARET MILLER

Kwanzaa is a relatively new American holiday celebrated in December, the same month Hanukkah and Christmas are observed. Unlike the two religious holidays, Kwanzaa is an African-American cultural seven-day celebration that begins Dec. 26 and ends Jan. 1. Mrs. Dora Weaver, Margaret's great grandmother, is one of many deceased family members honored during the family’s celebration. 30
