COMMITTEE

The inspiration for the creation of this website is the Bay Area Kwanzaa Committee.

"THE BAY AREA KWANZAA COMMITTEE is an organization representing various Houses of Kwanzaa that have been celebrating Kwanzaa for over 30 years. The Bay Area Kwanzaa Committee operates on a philosophy based on an understanding of Kwanzaa's deep significance to the African community. The committee treats Kwanzaa as a non-commercial, spiritual, political and cultural holiday.

"In keeping with the tradition of Kwanzaa, EVERYONE IS ENCOURAGED TO BRING SOMETHING HEALTHY TO SHARE FOR THE KARAMU/FEAST (No Pork Please)."

The Committee notes, "It is a traditional practice to wear Afrikan cultural attire to Kwanzaa ceremonies, yet what ever you're wearing please come and join our ceremony and celebration."
