St. Norbert College to Host Community Kwanzaa Celebration

For the first time in its history, St. Norbert College is hosting the Green Bay area's annual Community Kwanzaa Celebration. The celebration will take place on Saturday, Dec. 6, from 3-5 p.m. in the Michels Commons ballroom on the St. Norbert College campus. The event will include music, food and cultural education. It is free and open to the public.

Kwanzaa is a seven-day celebration designed to celebrate African heritage and cultural values. It was created by Maulana Karenga in 1966. A key theme of the celebration is Kujichagulia, or self-determination--the right to define, name, create and speak for oneself.

The event is sponsored by St. Norbert College Multicultural Student Services, Student Allocations, UW-Green Bay and NWTC.
