Podmas 8 Principle 1 of Kwanzaa: Umoja

I went to my first Kwanzaa celebration about 20 years ago. In my family we usually celebrate Junkanoo and Boxing Day so going to a Kwanzaa celebration was new to me. It was such a beautiful event filled with so much hope. The wonderful thing about Kwanzaa is you do not have to feel intimidated by it. I have been to Kwanzaa gatherings where the entire community gathers and people of all races participate. Below are a few books to help you learn more about Kwanzaa.

Brahms Requiem Part 1

Valerie Coleman’s Umoja expresses the joy of community, through a single irresistibly catchy tune. Not since Bobby McFerrin’s Don’t Worry, Be Happy has a composer created such memorably euphoric music. Deep joy lies also at the heart of Brahms’ Requiem. It is his most personal work, composed as a response to the death of his mother. Its focus is not on the past, but on the present. The work’s majestic harmonies and soaring melodic lines are for us: they are comfort for the living.

Kwanzaa 2016

The 50th anniversary of the pan-African holiday, Kwanzaa, of necessity brings added focus and emphasis on its customary call for remembrance, reflection and recommitment. We remember our history and the legacies left and the people who made and left them for us and the world. Kwanzaa, then, was conceived, born and came into being in the midst of struggle, in the fires and furnaces of the Black Freedom Movement, and therefore carries within it this legacy and the lessons from it. This 50-year journey from 1966-2016, The Seven Principles, begin with the principle of Umoja (Unity). For we come into being and best express and develop our humanity in relationship.The principle of Kujichagulia (Self-Determination) reaffirms the right and responsibility of every people to control their destiny and daily lives and to be respected as a unique and equally valid and valuable way of being human in the world.Dr. Maulana Karenga
