Education is in our hands. Let us hold hands

The celebration of Kwanzaa is a means for Black people to reaffirm their commitment to themselves, their families, their community, and the black struggle for equality.
In the Afrikan continent a harvest can occur all year round in various regions depending on their geographic location and climate. Considering the decision to hold the Diasporan Kwanzaa at the end of December was partly for financial reasons and not agricultural restraints, there is no reason why the Principles of Kwanzaa can not be celebrated at other times of the year.

There are seven days of Kwanzaa, December 26th through to January 1st. Each day focuses on a specific principle, so there are seven principles. This event is not necessarily called KWANZAA around the Afrikan continent. During the celebrations the community are not supposed to work but being in the diaspora where the vast majority of Black people are employed by people not of the Afrikan descent we are not in that position where we can just down tools for seven days. A great many more of us would be out of work. Unlike the Hindu, Muslim and Jewish communities for example. They mostly employ themselves and can close whenever their religions dictate whether it be for prayers or a longer celebrations of their religions respectively.
