We are spotlighting educators and the importance of literacy while celebrating Ujima, the third principle of Kwanzaa. Ujima (oo-gee-ma) is Swahili, and it refers to collective work and responsibility and represents how Africans and African descendants come together as a community to lend a helping hand in community affairs. Seven authors will present their books focusing on African American History, family and mental health. We will be graced with a libation ceremony and a dance performance by Nana Malaya Rucker, "The Dancing Diplomat". You will enjoy global inspired music and browsing our African marketplace in the Skylight Pavilion.
All books will be available for sale.
