Habari gani!
Ujamaa! (Cooperative Economics)

Today I'm reposting from an excellent source of information - the National Museum of African American History and Culture. ✊🏾

Reposted from H a p p y K w a n z a a ! Habari Gani?

The ideas and concepts of the seven-day celebration from December 26 to January 1 are expressed in the Swahili language–one of the most widely spoken languages in Africa. Each day of Kwanzaa, a different principle drawn from communitarian values found throughout the African continent, is celebrated. Every day the celebration begins when the leader asks everyone the official question, “Habari Gani?” or “What's happening?,” in Swahili. The group responds with the principle for the day.

The Seven Principles of Kwanzaa, or Nguzo Saba, help to continue building and maintain unified and empowered communities. The principles in order of celebration are Umoja – Unity, Kujichagulia – Self-Determination, Ujima – Collective Work and Responsibility, Ujamaa – Cooperative Economics, Nia – Purpose, Kuumba – Creativity, and Imani – Faith.

For Kwanzaa history, cultural expressions, new family & children activities & videos, information on the seven principles and an in-depth cooking experience with culinary historian Jessica B. Harris, join our virtual Kwanzaa celebration at nmaahc.si.edu/kwanzaa (link in bio)
