Kwanzaa, an African-American celebration of culture and enlightenment, began Sunday and continues through the week. 843-3826 Kwanzaa celebrates culture By Kevin Hommann Kansan staff writer Moore has helped to arrange Kwanzaa activities for the past three years. Todd Moore was tired of seeing African Americans depicted negatively. On television they commonly were portrayed as criminals or as people with troubled childhoods who struggled through school. "It seemed like something so positive," Moore said. "Sometimes this campus looks at African Americans in a negative way." Kwanzaa, derived from a Swahili word meaning "first fruits of the harvest," was started by Maulana Karenga, executive director of the Institute of Pan-African Studies in Los Angeles, in 1966. Searching for a way to add a positive image to his heritage, Moore read about the African-American holiday, Kwanzaa. After learning of the holiday, Moore, a Junction City senior, became active in coordinating Kwanzaa activities on the KU campus. The holiday provides an opportunity for African Americans to celebrate their heritage as well as improve their community and daily life, Moore said. The holiday, which is usually celebrated nationwide from Dec. 26 to Jan.1, is observed in February on the KU campus to coincide with Black History Month. Kwanzaa is based on seven principles that focus on relating to others and rebuilding the African-American image in society, Moore said. He said the seven principles are: unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith. She said she hoped the celebration would leave people with the feeling that they could help to improve their quality of life. Mary Myers, assistant director of Organizations and Activities, will speak on the principle of creativity tomorrow evening. She said she hoped the celebration would educate people about Kwanzaa's principles. "If you incorporate the principles into your daily life, they will make you a better person and your community a better place." Myers said. Moore said the lighting of the mishumazaao was a common image from a Kwanzaa celebration. The mishumazaao is made up of seven candles—three green, three red and one black. These represent the colors of Africa. Moore said Kwanzaa had a small beginning on the KU campus. "It started out in somebody's house with just a few guys getting together and celebrating," he said. Students interested in joining the celebration can attend a gathering at 6:30 p.m. today at the McCollum cafeteria, where Sherwood Thompson, director of Minority Affairs, will give a speech on "Nia," or purpose. Today, Kwanzaa is a celebration held in the McCollum Hall cafeteria that features different speakers. The Karamu, Swahili for "great feast," will offer different soul foods at Mrs. Z's, inside Lewis Hall, from 6 to 7 p.m. Thursday evening. Tickets are available from the Black Student Union and through the McColllum front desk for $3. Kwanzaa activities are open to anyone interested in learning more about African-American heritage, Moore said. Moore said he hoped the Kwanzaa celebration would continue to grow, both nationally and on the KU campus. "I'd like to see it get to where someone said Kwanzaa, and everybody knew what it meant," he said.
