BOY: In my family, we celebrate Kwanzaa.
Every night, we light a candle on the Kinara.
That's a candle holder.
Let the candle, burn each of the seven nights of Kwanzaa.
MOTHER: Are you ready to light the Kinara?
BOY: And every night, we talk about one of the seven
principles of Kwanzaa, their idea for how
to live a good life.
FATHR: Tonight's principle is umoja.
It means unity, coming together, getting along.
BOY: Like when Tyler lets me play with is drum?
MOTHER: Right.
BOY: My favorite part of Kwanzaa is the Karamu.
It's a feast on the sixth night.
Kuumba, where my whole family and friends gets together and
celebrates.
We eat lots of food, tell stories, and then in my
family, we like to dance.
We always have fun when we're together for Kwanzaa.
And at the end of the night, we get a small present.
My own drum?
Wow!
