This Kwanzaa banner from St. James school appeared in a procession at Holy Name Cathedral to celebrate Black History Month in 1995. Its theme explores the seven-day African American celebration. Each of the seven days devotes itself to a specific principle, which participants discuss as they light red, black, and green candles in a candelabra, called a Kinara. UJAMAA is the fourth of the seven Kwanzaa principles and refers primarily to the theme of cooperative economics.
