What is this Kwanzaa thing I keep reading about. Ok , Ok I know the basics, I can do a google search as well as the next man, :- Kwanzaa is a unique African American celebration with focus on the traditional African values of family, community responsibility, commerce, and self-improvement. Kwanzaa is neither political nor religious and despite some misconceptions, is not a substitute for Christmas.

I guess my question really is ‘what’s the back story?’ . . . it’s odd . . . I never heard of this before this year . . .
