As people of African descent worldwide prepare to celebrate Kwanzaa (December 26 - January 1), this new WGBY production captures the meaning and richness of this festival honoring family, community ties and ancient African customs. “You are in for a treat,” promises storyteller-educator Onawumi Jean Moss. She introduces each of The Seven Principles that are at the heart of Kwanzaa, beginning with umoja or unity. Ceremonies of the seven-day observance are also recreated.
