Kwanzaa is an annual celebration of Black American culture from December 26 to January 1, culminating in a communal feast called Karamu. It was created by activist Maulana Karenga, based on African harvest festival traditions. The name Kwanzaa derives from the Swahili phrase matunda ya kwanza, meaning "first fruits."
