The Sixth Day of Kwanzaa: Kuumba -- Our Creativity Lifts Us Above Our Struggles

 

Our Creativity Lifts Us Above Our Struggles

Capturing the essence of life and presenting the joy, sorrow, and achievement in creative ways is what lifts us above the drudgery and pain that so often defines our lives.

Our history of oppression has generated a unique creativity that strengthens us for the struggle ahead. Through our music, art, and song, we gain power to face tomorrow. So, despite our struggle we can sing --

Lift Every Voice And Sing

 

THE SIXTH DAY OF KWANZAA


KUUMBA
Kuumba (koo-OOM-bah) is the sixth day of Kwanzaa, and it means "creativity." On this day, we pledge several things. We pledge to do whatever we can to make our communities and homes more beautiful and better than we found them. We also pledge to use our creative talents and energies to improve young minds and hearts.

 

Happy Kwanzaa!
