The ideas and concepts of Kwanzaa are expressed in the Swahili language, one of the most widely spoken languages in Africa. The seven principles which form its core were drawn from communitarian values found throughout the African continent.

🚨 🚨 🚨 House votes TOMORROW on #HR9495, a bill that would give Trump the power to strip any non-profit organization of its status & brand w/ "terrorist" affiliate & NO EVIDENCE. Obviously a nightmareβ€”every major civil rights org opposes it, from the #ACLU, to #AmnestyInternational to the #EFF. (1/5)
