Day 6 - Kuumba

On Day 6, we celebrate Kuumba


Kuumba - Creativity


During this time we are reminded to always do as much as we can,  and to work hard to ensure our communities are more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it.  

On the six day of Kwanzaa the family lights the red candle. This candle is symbolic of struggle- continuous effort and work. The placement and order of the Kwanzaa candles teach and reinforce valuable lessons for the family. The lesson here is that we light the red candle to reinforce the value and priority we place struggle as the method for creating progress.
