The second day of the first-ever Kwanzaa celebration honored Kujichagulia, meaning “self-determination” in Swahili. Kwanzaa, created by Dr. Maulana Karenga, is a week-long celebration of African-American culture and heritage. Kujichagulia encourages individuals to define, name, create for, and speak for themselves—key principles in the pursuit of cultural identity and empowerment.
