Question Harambee? Has Anyone Ever Heard or Celebrated

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.
