Kuumba Fest began in 1990 as an off shoot of Shule Ya Busura Na Umoja (SYBU) - swahili for the School of Foresight and Unity. This cultural art and heritage program was designed to teach young people about African American heritage, history and culture. The program used Edutainment as a means of reaching youth who didn't respond to traditional intervention and support methods.
Events begin on Friday with traditional ceremonial pre-fest opening in the courtyard with vendors, fashion, cultural art, music, food, drumming, dance, libations. "Royal Court" begins at 7:30 with parade of history, warrior kings, queens and ancient pharaohs. Also on tap: the play Life.
Admission: $5 - $20
