Metro Atlanta Kwanzaa Association
Chairman’s Annual Message
In Atlanta, the African village will be gathering to celebrate Kwanzaa, which focuses on the traditional African values of family, community, and nation-building for our survival.
We are challenged each day and beyond to embrace the seven principles of Kwanzaa and the awesome legacy in which it is grounded.
“As an African American and Pan-African holiday celebrated by millions throughout the world’s African community, Kwanzaa brings a cultural message which speaks to the best of what it means to be African and human in the fullest sense,” teaches Dr. Karenga.
Habari Gani!
Ahmed Sekou Toure (Chairperson)
Please come out and support the sacred celebrations that are very significant to us as an African village. This is one of the proudest Pan-African events in the year we celebrate!
The Metro-Atlanta Kwanzaa has published the Kwanzaa Resource Guide to:
- Inform the community about Atlanta based Kwanzaa celebrations
- Counter the lack of accurate knowledge about Kwanzaa
- Reaffirm their bonds as one people in a Pan-African perspective
- Bring good into the world in our own local and global context
- Celebrate the “sacred names and practices of our great ancestors” through the [African] family
