Kwanzaa Celebration - Meaning of the Seven Candles and Principles #2063363 (License: Personal Use)

This image depicts the traditional Kwanzaa kinara with seven candles-three red on the left, one black in the center, and three green on the right-representing the Nguzo Saba (Seven Principles): Umoja, Kujichagulia, Ujima, Ujamaa, Nia, Kuumba, and Imani. The colors reflect Pan-African unity: red for struggle, black for people, and green for hope and future. The bold “KWANZAA” lettering reinforces the cultural identity and festive spirit of the holiday observed from December 26 to January 1.
