On behalf of Alkebulan Consciousness Rising and Roc-A-Natural Cultural Foundation Inc, we would like to give a huge THANK YOU to all of you for coming out to the 2nd Annual Kwanzaa Celebration! Unity In The Community on Tuesday, December 26, 2023 at the Central Family Life Center and allowing us to culturally enrich through the first Kwanzaa Principle, Umoja!
It truly was a collective effort with all involved and we could not have done it without the generous sponsorship of Central Family Life Center, Universal Temple of the Arts; thoughtful donations, (too many to name, but they are listed in your program handouts), Vendors, Volunteers, Performers, Drummers and Youth.
