During the pre-Kwanzaa season The International Kwanzaa Exchange provides space about Kwanzaa celebrations being held around the cities and communities of the country. There is no charge to the online community for this service. It is our way of practicing Umoja on the web to build and maintain the Kwanzaa community. We hope you will continue to support us in our "Across the Nation" endeavor to place all Kwanzaa celebrations together on our site.
