This Kwanzaa millions of Africans all over the world come again together to celebrate family, community and culture and to recommit them to creating and practicing good in the world, using the Nguzo Saba, the Seven Principles, as the fundamental framework and foundation to achieve this. We come together again, to raise and praise the sacred names and sustaining practices of the ancestors and to recommit ourselves to the dignity affirming and life enhancing views and values they have left to ground us. Consciously following in the cultural footsteps of out ancestors and elders, we come together also to celebrate the good in and of the world, the good of family, community and culture.
