The 7 principles of Kwanzaa will be demonstrated by African American organizations such as the NAACP, Mindful Minds, Indiana Black Expo of Greater Michigan City, The Drifters, Essence Rare, The Michigan City Black History Committee and selected Ministers of the Michigan City Ministerial Conference. We will have vendors, Community resources (such as Health Screenings), arts & crafts for children, and refreshments. For the culmination, which is Sunday January 1, we are planning an old school church service, with traditional gospel singing by Michigan City Community Choir. Our goal is to bring our community together by offering this entire week-long celebration at a minimum admission cost or free. Generous sponsorships will enable this seven-day celebration to be free for all to attend. We hope you see the need for this activity and become a sponsor. The tentative agenda includes Community Prayer; Singing “Lift Every Voice and Sing” the Black National Anthem and each night themed with the Introduction of Kwanzaa Principles 1.) Umoja (Unity) To strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation and race. 2.) Kujichagulia (Self Determination) To define Ourselves, name Ourselves, create for Ourselves and speak for Ourselves. 3.) Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility To build and maintain our community together and make our community’s problems our problems and to solve them together. 4.) Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics) To build and maintain our stores, shops and other businesses and to profit from them together. 5.) Nia (purpose) To make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to their traditional greatness. 6.) Kuumba (Creativity) To do always as much as we can to leave our community more beautiful than we inherited it. 7.)
