Mon, Dec 28, 6 pm: Kwanzaa Celebration, presented by the Center of African American Art and History and The Juneteenth Committee. Everyone is invited to participate. Keynote speaker is Kristina Kyles, president and CEO of Clear Path Academics and acting interim principal of Marblehead School District, Boston, Massachusetts. She is a graduate of Holland High School. Refreshments, desserts will follow the Kwanzaa ceremony. An African American and Pan-African holiday established in 1966, Kwanzaa is celebrated throughout the world, but primarily in communities and homes in the United States from December 27 to January 1 each year. It brings a cultural message that speaks to what it means to be an African American in the fullest sense and features the lighting of seven candles—three red, three green, and one black—for the seven principles of Kwanzaa: unity, self-esteem, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith. For information, (616) 836-8559. At Holland Armory, 9th St between River and Central Aves., Holland.
