Kwanzaa
Talents
Event
Click >>> Here
The sixth day, December 31, is a day to celebrate talents. The Kwanzaa celebration is a celebration of Family, Community and Culture and consists of seven days to celebrate seven principles, with emphasis on one principle a day. Because the sixth day falls on New Years Eve, it culminates in a feast, patterned much like the first-fruits celebrations of ancient Africa.
African American Heritage Society of East Pasco County Officers are Harriet Craig, Brenda Joyce Baker, Event Coordinator; Angela Lewis-Bennett, Imani Asukile, President; Mary Smith and Brenda Wormack.
Brenda Joyce Baker and Mary Smith perform one of the first activities of Kwanzaa, the pouring of libation (tambiko) into the "unity" cup in honor of the ancestors, lighting of candles and raising names of ancestors who have passed on.
Pasco Middle School student Salim Bennett, recites a poem from Langston Hughes, “What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore, and then run?”
This year AAHSEPC recognized Dade City Videographer, Ruth Black by giving her the very first, Dr. Carter G. Woodson Award for turning her hobby of video recording local events into a potent archive of community life.
