What’s Happening in Whoville? – Milwaukee Courier Weekly

s well as the convenience of streaming services, it just seems like we are losing many of the simple joys. So many things these days are commercialized, commodified, and owned by someone. Thinking it through, I am reminded why Kwanzaa is so important.

Created in 1966 by Maulana Ron Karenga, Kwanzaa is a week-long celebration of family and community. Whether we come together to share a meal, honor our ancestors, or celebrate African and African American culture, we are able to capture the true meaning of the season.

This holiday, I wish that we all can connect and capture the lessons that keep us grounded and help us to be decent to one another. Whether a family cartoon or a larger celebration, we are creating memories and traditions for future generations.
