It traditionally runs from December 26 to New Years&#8217; Day.&#13; Kwanzaa was founded in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga, a black studies professor at California State University at Long Beach who describes himself as a cultural nationalist. Kwanzaa is unique in that it is neither religious, political, nor heroic but rather a cultural holiday. The celebration is based on seven fundamental principles which are referred to as the Nguzo Saba.&#13; For more information regarding the 溏心vlog免费B站 Kwanzaa celebration, call the Multicultural Center at 874-2851.&#13; -xxx-&#13; For More Information: Jan Sawyer, 874-2116  \u00a0\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KINGSTON, RI-December 2, 1998 &#8212; The 溏心vlog免费B站 invites the campus community and the general public to attend its Fifth Annual Kwanzaa celebration on Friday, December 11 at 6 p.m. at the Multicultural Center, located at 74 Lower College Road, on the Kingston Campus.
