Washington, D.C. (TADIAS) ? The 8th annual joint holiday celebration of Genna (Ethiopian X-mas) and Kwanaza, a nonreligious holiday honoring the legacy of African American life, will be held on Monday, December 26th in Washington, D.C.
According to organizers this year?s activities include a special appearance by the current Miss Africa USA, Ghyslaine Tchouaga of Cameroon, and traditional performances by the African Heritage Dancers and Drummers, as well as food, drinks, music and a candle lighting ceremony.
Kwanzaa, a Swahili word, is a week-long celebration with each day of the week dedicated to one of seven principles: umoja (unity); kujichagulia (self-determination); ujima (collective work and responsibility); ujamaa (cooperative economics); nia (purpose); kuumba (creativity); and imani (faith). All are based on values prevalent in African cultures.
?The objective of the event is to establish unity and a working relationship to fight poverty which is rampant in both communities,? said Tamrat Medhin, Founder of Little Ethiopia DC, one of the organizers of the event.
