Here are seven radio promos that explain Kwanzaa in 30 to 45 seconds which are appropriate for a street oriented Urban radio station, podcast, and the like. FREEly download and share and use for your shows, mixtapes, podcasts, and other uses. This is oriented for Street Urban Radio due to it's reference to drinking and the use of edgy, profane language from the character named "The Semi-Conscious B-Boy". This may not be appopriate for religious or culturally-sensitive Kwanzaa practioners.

Imani's 1988 Kwanzaa Event

Here is a blast from the past.

This 1988 home Kwanzaa event led to the development of the Uhuru African American Cultural Society which gave birth to the Imani Foundation. The Imani Foundation's annual Kwanzaa event is a descendant of this event. Ashee, Ashee, Ashee. The link to the video is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpiXq7hSf8Q Enjoy !

The Black Candle - M.K. Asante & Kwanzaa

http://www.theblackcandle.com MK Asante Jr's documentary on Kwanzaa and the Afrikans that celebrate it around the world.


The Black Candle is a landmark, vibrant documentary that uses Kwanzaa as a vehicle to explore and celebrate the African-American experience.
http://www.theblackcandle.com/site.html
Narrated by world renowned poet Maya Angelou and directed by award-winning author and filmmaker M.K. Asante, Jr., The Black Candle is an extraordinary, inspirational story about the struggle and triumph of African-American family, community, and culture.

Filmed across the United States, Africa, Europe and the Caribbean, The Black Candle is a timely illumination on why the seven principles of Kwanzaa (unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith) are so important to African-Americans today.

The first feature film on Kwanzaa, The Black Candle traces the holiday’s growth out of the Black Power Movement in the 1960s to its present-day reality as a global, pan-African holiday embraced by over 40 million celebrants.

With vivid cinematography and an all star cast that features the best and brightest from the hip-hop and the civil rights generations, The Black Candle is more than a film about a holiday: it’s a celebration of a people!
