Kugichagula....Day of Self-Determination

The Kwanzaa candles and harvest
Symbols of Kwanzaa
Today is the second day of Kwanzaa where we focus on
Kugichagula which is Self-Determination.

In the Symbols of Kwanzaa picture to the right, the candle holder is the Kinara which is symbolic of our roots, our parent people -- continental Africans.








Kugichagula...Day of Self-Determination


Kugichagula, pronounced "koo-jee-cha-goo-LEE-ah" means to define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves, and speak for ourselves.
