The 46th edition of what organizers say is the world's oldest Kwanzaa parade will be held Monday in South Los Angeles to mark the start of the seven-day African-American festival.
The Kwanzaa Gwaride is set to begin at 11 a.m. at Adams and Crenshaw boulevards, then head south on Crenshaw Boulevard for two miles to Leimert Park, where a vendor and entertainment festival will be held, including jazz, R&B and reggae performances and African drumming.
The iyada will be Crystal Mitchell, a co-director of Recycling Black Dollars, a nonprofit corporation that encourages supporting Black-owned businesses. The principle for the second night is Kujichagulia, self-determination,"to define and name ourselves, as well as to create and speak for ourselves."
Kwanzaa is based on the theory of Kawaida, which espouses that social revolutionary change for Black America can be achieved through cultural heritage.
