Yes, I am from an African descent and I do practice Kwanzaa. I was taught that the feast was supposed to represent unity in the family

I am Black and I celebrate Kwanzaa. The feast represents the coming together of family. Its a expression of unity. Usually there is a libation that goes on during the feast in which you call out the names of dead relatives/friends. It is symbolic of you celebrating their lives and remembering their struggle.

hi! I even have celebrated Kwanzaa my entire existence and it quite is not a shaggy dog tale. the respond to your question: In kwanzaa we rejoice our human beings as africans, like we hint lower back to the motherland. In african american month, it quite is "american" so yea.

I say happy birthday Jesus and eat other than that I don't celebrate anything but the meal represents the family and the unity they share but hand made gifts....hum I don't know if everybody in my family can do the arts and crafts so I prefer they buy something instead.

In college i celebrated (i'm guessing that is what you meant by 'practice') Kwanzaa.... it is about community generally speaking. it is wonderful and very festive when celebrated in its truest form.
