This course is focused on the culture and crafts of Kwanzaa. Discussions will be limited to the arts and culture of the holiday. A brief history of the holiday will be shared to provide context for the holiday (i.e. the founder and the date of the first Kwanzaa celebrated). We will not dive into deep histories and politics.
We will use the The Seven Days of Kwanzaa and How to Celebrate Them by Angela Shelf Medearis, Together for Kwanzaa by Juwanda G. Ford, The Story Behind Kwanzaa by Melissa Rae Shower, and Seven Candles for Kwanzaa by Andrea Davis Pinkney.
