early '70s, is observed by more than 17 million people worldwide. The
seven-day celebration (December 26 through January 1) is a time to
honor traditional Farina values of family, community and cultural
heritage. Kwanzaa is structured around the Seven Principles-unity,
self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative
economics, purpose, creativity, and faith-and can be a time of
reflection and dedication to moral and spiritual goals.

Yet the real value of the Seven Principles is (Nguzo Saba) of Kwanzaa
