American Maulana Karenga created Kwanzaa in 1966 during the aftermath of the Watts riots[2] as a specifically African-American holiday.[3] Karenga said his goal was to "give blacks an alternative to the existing holiday of Christmas and give blacks an opportunity to celebrate themselves and their history, rather than simply imitate the practice of the dominant society."[4] For Karenga, a major figure in the Black Power movement of the 1960s and 1970s, the creation of such holidays also underscored the essential premise that ''"you must have a cultural revolution before the violent revolution. The cultural revolution gives identity, purpose, and direction."[5]''

 

According to Karenga, the name Kwanzaa derives from the Swahili phrase matunda ya kwanza, meaning "first fruits".[6] First fruits festivals exist in Southern Africa, celebrated in December/January with the southern solstice, and Karenga was partly inspired by an account he read of the Zulu festival Umkhosi Wokweshwama.[7] It was decided to spell the holiday's name with an additional "a" so that it would have a symbolic seven letters.[8]

 

During the early years of Kwanzaa, Karenga said it was meant to be an alternative to Christmas. ''He believed Jesus was psychotic and Christianity was a "White" religion ''that Black people should shun.[9] As Kwanzaa gained mainstream adherents, Karenga altered his position so practicing Christians would not be alienated, stating in the 1997 book Kwanzaa: A Celebration of Family, Community, and Culture that "Kwanzaa was not created to give people an alternative to their own religion or religious holiday."[10] Many African Americans who celebrate Kwanzaa do so in addition to observing Christmas.[11]

 

After its initial creation in California, Kwanzaa spread outside the United States.[12]

 

The Seven Principles of Kwanzaa

1) Umoja (Unity): To strive for and to maintain unity in the family and community.

2) Kujichagulia (Self-determination): To define and name ourselves, as well as to create and speak for ourselves.

3) Ujima (Collective work and responsibility): To build and maintain our community together and make our brothers' and sisters' problems our problems and to solve them together.

4)Ujamaa (Cooperative economics): To build and maintain our own stores, shops, and other businesses and to profit from them together.

5) Nia (Purpose): To make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to their traditional greatness.

6) Kuumba (Creativity): To do always as much as we can, in the way we can, in order to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it.

7) Imani (Faith): To believe with all our hearts in our people, our parents, our teachers, our leaders, and the righteousness and victory of our struggle.

Maulana Ndabezitha Karenga (born Ronald McKinley Everett, July 14, 1941),[1][2][3] previously known as Ron Karenga, is an American activist, author, professor of Africana studies and ''convicted felon, best known as the creator of the pan-African and African-American holiday of Kwanzaa.'

 

Born in Parsonsburg, Maryland, to an African-American family, Karenga studied at Los Angeles City College and the University of California, Los Angeles. He was active in the Black Power movement of the 1960s, joining the Congress of Racial Equality and Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. In 1965, Karenga and Hakim Jamal co-founded the black nationalist group US Organization, which became involved in violent clashes with the Black Panther Party by 1969. ''In 1971, he was convicted of felony assault, torture, and false imprisonment of women. ''He denied involvement and claimed the prosecution was political in nature. Karenga was imprisoned in California Men's Colony until he received parole in 1975.[4]

 

In 1966, Karenga notably created Kwanzaa, modeling the holiday after the African "first fruit" traditions. The rituals of the holiday promote African traditions, including the "seven principles of African heritage". During the early years of Kwanzaa, Karenga said it was meant to be a black alternative to Christmas. Karenga, a secular humanist, challenged the sanity of Jesus and declared Christianity a "White religion" that black people should shun.[5] However, Karenga later changed his opinion, stating that Kwanzaa was not meant to provide people with an alternative to "their own religion or religious holiday."[6]

 

Karenga has been ''awarded two doctorates, one in Political Science in 1976 and one in Social Ethics in 1994.[7] He currently chairs the Africana Studies Department ''at California State University, Long Beach[8] and has authored several books.[9]
