BENTON’S BASICS: KWANZAA BASICS
The core tenants of Kwanzaa, or the Seven Principles, are:
Umoja (Unity)—To strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race.
Kujichagulia (Self-Determination)—To define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves, and speak for ourselves.
Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility)—To build and maintain our community together and make our brothers’ and sisters’ problems our problems and solve them together.
Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics)—To build and maintain our own stores, shops, and other businesses and to profit from them together.
Nia (Purpose)—To make our collective vocation the building and development of our community in order to restore our people to their traditional greatness.
Kuumba (Creativity)—To always do as much as we can, in the way we can, to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it.
Imani (Faith)—To believe with all our heart in our people, our parents, our teachers, our leaders, and the righteousness and victory of our struggle.
