Celebrate!

A celebration of culture and the 7 principals of Kwansaa.

Celebrate

Blow the trumpet and pound the drums,
wave the vibrant flags of many lands.
Hold high the red, white and blue
where hope stirs hearts to join hands
the diverse colors from this our earth.
Each proud in our culture to share
with others our talents and unique being.
