Day 1 of celebration
Umoja (Unity): To strive for and to maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race.
Screening the film: The Black Candle by M.K. Asante Jr.
Day 2 of celebration
Self Determination (Kujichagulia) - To define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves, and speak for ourselves.
This principle of the Nguzo Saba is the foundation principle of the World Beat Cultural Center.
It took Self Determination to build and maintain a culture center that embraces culture in San Diego 35 years ago and incorporated to a non-profit 25 years ago. 15 years ago it took self determination to take an empty water tower building that had no bathrooms, no water, and little electricity and make a culture center for indigenous people bloom in Balboa Park.
The second day of Kwanzaa Kujichagulia is our main event and we will be celebrating it with African dance, live music, traditional candle, Tambiko (pouring libations to the Ancestors), closing out with the Karamu (Feast).
Day 3 of celebration
