The First Principle of Kwanzaa: Umoja which means Unity
Monday, December 26, 2016
Greeting: Habari gani! (What’s the news?)
Response: Umoja! (Unity)
Today is the first day of Kwanzaa and the principle is Unity. To strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation and race. Unity stresses the importance of togetherness for the family and the community. Unity is needed to build the foundation of a self-sustaining, productive community. All productive people groups have practiced that. Light the black candle in the center.
