The holiday season isn’t complete without Kwanzaa, the African American and Pan-African holiday that celebrates family, history, and culture. The holiday was created by Dr. Maulana Karenga in 1966 and is observed with seven principles across seven nights.
Winston-Salem residents can join in Kwanzaa celebrations starting next week. Triad Cultural Arts, Inc. is hosting the series of events — with each day focused on a theme.
