Join us this year as we celebrate the 57th Anniversary of Kwanzaa and the principle Ujima / Collective Work and Responsibility by introducing some of our collective work – a new Kwanzaa website and a three year program leading up to the 60th Anniversary titled “An Ujima Quest for a Kwanzaa Jubilee.”
Nguzo Saba (The Seven Principles)
Nguzo Saba (The Seven Principles)
- Umoja (Unity) - To strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and world-wide African community.
- Kujichagulia (Self-Determination) - To define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves and speak for ourselves.
- Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility) - To build and maintain our community together and make our brother's and sister's problems our problems and to solve them together.
- Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics) - To build and maintain our own stores, shops and other businesses and to profit from them together.
- Nia (Purpose) - To make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to their traditional greatness.
- Kuumba (Creativity) - To do always as much as we can, in the way we can, in order to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it.
- Imani (Faith) - To believe with all our heart in our people, our parents, our teachers, our leaders and the righteousness and victory of our struggle.
