Kwanzaa is an annual celebration of African-American culture from December 26 to January 1, culminating in a communal feast called Karamu, usually on the sixth day.
It was created by activist Maulana Karenga, based on African harvest festival traditions from various parts of West and Southeast Africa.
The program was inspired by artist Gloria Klutzke and the SAQA Quilt Show at the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette, and made possible with support from the General de Lafayette Chapter of the DAR.
It brings to life the courage, creativity, and resilience of those who risked everything in pursuit of freedom.
