Kwanzaa celebration—Dancers from the Nathifa Dance Company perform a traditional African dance at Birmingham-Southern College's Fourth Annual Kwanzaa Celebration Dec. 6. Sponsored by BSC's Office of Multicultural Affairs, Black Student Union, and Multicultural Advisory Committee, the celebration included performances by the BSC One-A-Chord Gospel Choir, the BSC Black Student Union Poetry Circle, the BSC Delta Sigma Theta Strut & Founders and Alpha Kappa Alpha, along with an African storyteller and the Nathifa drummers and dancers. Kwanzaa is an African-American and Pan-African holiday that celebrates family, community, and culture and is celebrated from Dec. 26-Jan. 1. The name “Kwanzaa” is derived from the phrase “Matunda ya kwanza,” which means “first fruits” in the Swahili language.
