Today I was teaching my classes about "independent and subordinate clauses" and on one of the handouts, it used the African-American holiday of HARAMBEE which means UNITY in Swahili. What is so interesting to me is that I thought Harambee was just a word said during Kwanzaa.
Here is what I learned from the worksheet:
- Celebrated on October 31
- Originated among Black people in Dallas, Texas
- At a Harambee party, families and friends gather to celebrate Black culture
- Play music, sing, dance, discuss artwork
So for those opposed to Halloween, here is the perfect alternative that is more positive and cultural in mind.
