Kwanzaa is an African American and pan-African seven-day cultural festival that is celebrated every December 26 to January 1.

We devote the third day of Kwanzaa, December 28th, to the principle of Ujima (oo-JEE-mah), which means collective work and responsibility. On this day we light a candle, symbolizing a commitment to active and informed togetherness on matters of common interest. Ujimafocuses on the collective responsibility for both our achievements and our setbacks. We commit to building and maintaining our community, taking on each other’s problems, and working to solve them together.

Let's come together, regardless of background, to celebrate the principle of Ujima.

This event is free to the public and is a fantastic opportunity to connect with others and honor the Ujima heritage. Don't miss out on this special celebration!
