LESSONS FROM THE KWANZAA CANDLES
By Gail Forsyth-Vail, DRE, North Parish Church, N. Andover, MA Unitarian Sunday School Society 1999 Intergenerational Service Award Winner Chalice Lighting Words
Each morning we must hold out the chalice of our being to receive, to carry, and to give back. (Dag Hammarskjold) Song: Rise Up, O Flame (#362) Worship Leader
This is the time of the year when Kwanzaa comes, followed closely by the birthday of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The message spoken quietly in African American homes at Kwanzaa is shouted to the world two weeks later at the birthday of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King. Even if we are not African American, there is a lot that the candles of Kwanzaa have to teach us. The Kwanzaa candles are seven - three red, a black, and three green. The black candle is a celebration of being black, of the unique and special qualities each person brings to the whole family or community. It is a candle of the present, of today. The green candles are vision candles - candles of hopes, dreams, and promises for the future. The red candles are struggle candles, past candles, candles the color of blood, candles the color of courage. All seven candles help African Americans to remember a long struggle against injustice, against unfairness, and to promise each other that they will continue to work together against injustice. As a white person, I can't be a part of the remembering or the promise. I will not light the candles, for they are not mine to light. I will, however, honor the struggle for justice by speaking a history - the story of a people which is not often enough told in our society.

  • Students learn the lessons of labor by 'becoming' workers, employers. High school students are now bargaining for seniority, medical benefits, and even higher wages. Well, sort of. They're participating in a program created seven years ago by two Los Angeles teachers and now being expanded nationwide by the George Meany Center for Labor Studies in Silver Spring, Maryland. Called the Collective Bargaining Education Project, its showcase component is a day-long simulation in which students assume the roles of workers and employers. Funded with public and private dollars, the project seeks to close a critical gap in high school learninglabor history, workers' rights, and social justice. And by all accounts, it's working. "Many teacher activists see a big hole in the curriculum regarding working people," says project coordinator Valerie Ervin. "Since it's not there, we need to put it there. Teachers are crying out for innovation."

    Kwanzaa - What is it? This celebration is not a festival originating in any of the 55 African countries nor is it an "African" Christmas celebration. Kwanzaa is an African Americans celebration of life from 26 December to 1 January.
    Dr. Maulana Karenga introduced the festival in 1966 to the United States as
    a ritual to welcome the first harvests to the home. Dr. Karenga created this
    festival for African Americans as a response to the commercialism of Christmas. In fact one might say that Kwanzaa has similarities with Thanksgiving in the United States or the Yam Festival in Ghana and Nigeria. The word "kwanza" is a KiSwahili (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania) word meaning "first."
    Five common sets of values are central to the activities of the week:
    ingathering, reverence, commemoration, recommitment, and celebration. The
    seven principles (nguzo saba) of Kwanzaa utilize Kiswahili words: unity
    (umoja), self-determination (kujichagulia), collective work and

    Kwanzaa is a special time of year at my house. Imagine Christmas Day going on and on for a whole week! That's what it's like. We celebrate who we are the Franklin family! And we celebrate being African Americans.
    Kwanzaa starts the day after Christmas December 26 and goes until January 1st. The word, Kwanzaa, means "first fruits" in Swahili. Dad says that means we're celebrating the fruit of our hands and spirits. So, every night of Kwanzaa, after dinner, we do something special to celebrate one of the seven principles of Kwanzaa.
    My older brother, Mike, does wood work. He's an architect. So he made us a kinara. That's a wooden candle holder with seven candles in it one for each day of Kwanzaa. There's a black candle in the middle, and three red ones on the left and three green ones on the right. Every night, Lauren starts the celebration by lighting one of the candles. We let her do it because she's the youngest.

The holiday also celebrates the creating, harvesting and sharing of good in the world and for the world.

    Kwanzaa Quandary
    Why would anyone celebrate such a bogus holiday? By Tom Danehy Could somebody please tell me exactly when it was that we went from striving to be culturally aware and sensitive to accepting just about any load of crapola that comes down the pike? I'm betting that it was some time after 1966, when a college professor made up a holiday and, because he's black, no one in the past 35 years has had the nerve to say that it's the festival version of The Emperor's New Clothes . There's no there, there. I'm talking about, of course, Kwanzaa, that glorious weeklong festival celebrated by tens of people around the country and given more fawning media attention than the entire cast of Friends . It's not that it's a bad holiday, per se; it's just that it seems ... well, forced. According to the official Kwanzaa Web site (named, oddly enough, www.officialkwanzaawebsite.org ), the festival was just made up by a guy named Maulana Karenga. I looked Kwanzaa up on Encarta and there was this glowing entry on the festival, but then I noticed that the passage had been written by Karenga himself. He claims that the festival is based on an African harvest celebration known as matunda ya kwanza, which is Swahili for "first fruits." Here's where problems start to pop up. First off, I've never understood why the Afrocentric movement in the U.S. focuses on Swahili. It's a nice language and even the name sounds cool, but Swahili is spoken by people in the eastern and central parts of Africa. If learning an African language is an attempt to maintain a link to the distant ancestors who were brought to America against their will under the bonds of slavery, then people should speak one of the more indigenous Bantu tongues, like Fulfulde or Mande, from which comes the term "Mandingo."

    Kwanzaa
    Joan Jones Thirty years ago, Dr. Maulanga Karenga created a very spiritual, family and friends-oriented observance that harmonizes with the Christmas season. While struggling withthe unrest in Watts during the '60s, Dr. Karenga became involved in the creation of a number of positive organizations, schools, and conferences that addressed rebuilding the Black community physically and spiritually. Dr. Karenga has made many contributions to the survival of the Black community, however, he will be best remembered for Kwanzaa.
    Kwanzaa is an innovative, fast-growing celebration in African American and Canadian communities. Steeped in the traditions and ceremonies of original African cultures, it was originally a harvest celebration enabling African Americans to 'reaffirm our culture and bonds between us as a people'. Although focusing on African American communities, Kwanzaa is a non religious, spiritual way to spend the week after Christmas.
    Kwanzaa is celebrated by millions of people world-wide, including Canadians. According to Dr. Kerenga, it has "inspired a regathering of the diaspora." The unique and very special aspect of Kwanzaa is that it was conceived in North America by an African American. It is one of many observances or traditions originating in North American African communities that continue to grow.
    The origin of the word 'Kwanzaa' is Swahili and means 'first fruit', a family gathering time similar to Thanksgiving. The celebration is based on seven principles known as 'Nguse Saba' that correspond to the seven days from December 26 to January 1.

    "Koo-gee-cha-goo-lee-yah," said 'Niyi Coker Jr., as he corrected Sylvia Tiggs, a Decatur teacher, on the pronunciation of Kujichagulia, a Swahili word that means self-determination. It also is one of the seven principles of a nearly three-decades-old African American and Pan-African heritage celebration named Kwanzaa. Translated, the word means "First Fruits of the Harvest." Practitioners celebrate one principle a day from Dec. 26 to Jan. 1. Coker, the director of the African-American Studies program at The University of Alabama at Birmingham, conducted a Kwanzaa workshop last week for the three teachers who teach African-American studies at Decatur's middle schools. "It was founded in the '60s when there was a strong movement to establish a cultural identity for African- Americans based on African heritage," Coker said. The celebration is centered on Kwanzaa's Nguzo Saba, or seven principles.
