The first celebration of Kwanzaa, created by Dr. Maulana Karenga in 1966, concluded on January 1 with “Imani,” the seventh principle of the Nguzo Saba. Imani, meaning “faith” in Swahili, encourages belief in the community, its leaders, and the righteousness of the Black struggle. Kwanzaa honors African heritage and values, and this final day reflects the importance of spiritual and communal confidence.
