what exactly is Kwanzaa?

Answer 1

It's kind of a cross between Christmas and Channukah, with an emphasis on values. I say it's a cross between the two because they use a candle lighting tradition, much like Jewish people light a Menorah (i don't think i spelled that right). Each of the five candles represent a value/moral. And the colors of the candles are red and green... there's a black or purple one in the middle, i think. It isn't really tied to religious beliefs. And that's all i can say off hand. I could be in error though.

Answer 2

Kwanzaa is a unique African American celebration with focus on the traditional African values of family, community responsibility, commerce, and self-improvement. Kwanzaa is neither political nor religious and despite some misconceptions, is not a substitute for Christmas. It is simply a time of reaffirming African-American people, their ancestors and culture. Kwanzaa, which means "first fruits of the harvest" in the African language Kiswahili, has gained tremendous acceptance. Since its founding in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga, Kwanzaa has come to be observed by more than18 million people worldwide, as reported by the New York Times. When establishing Kwanzaa in 1966, Dr. Karenga included an additional "a" to the end of the spelling to reflect the difference between the African American celebration (kwanzaa) and the Motherland spelling (kwanza). ..........Uh Huh, Whatevah
