The 7th Day of Kwanzaa -- Imani: Faith in the future of our people.

ImageHappy New Year!


On this seventh day of Kwanzaa, we say Happy New Year with the faith that our collective efforts will bear bountiful fruit in 2012. This is the same faith that inspired the immortal words of "Lift Every Voice and Sing" -- The Black National Anthem, by James Weldon Johnson,


Sing a song full of the faith
that the dark past has taught us,

Sing a song full of the hope

that the present has brought us;

Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,

Let us march on till victory is won.



THE SEVENTH DAY OF KWANZAA


Imani

Imani (ee-MAH-nee) is the seventh and last day of Kwanzaa. Imani means faith. On this day, the beginning of the new year we pledge to believe with all our hearts and minds in our people, our parents, our good and dedicated teachers and leaders, and in the greater good of the work we do with and for one another, for the community and for the PEOPLE.
