The seven principles of Kwanzaa
CNN
Christmas might be over, but Kwanzaa is just getting started.
Today marks the start of Kwanzaa, also spelled Kwanza (with one 'a' at the end). It's a seven-day non-religious holiday observed in the US, meant to honor African Americans' ancestral roots. The celebration lasts until January 1.
The name comes from the Swahili phrase "matunda ya kwanza," which means "first fruits."
