This date is the fourth day of Kwanzaa. The day focuses on Ujamaa, the Swahili word for cooperative economics. This fourth principle of the Nguzo Saba is a commitment to the practice of shared social wealth and the work needed to achieve it.
It is now the fourth day of Kwanzaa, and we light the Ujamaa candle, representing Cooperative Economics. There is one black candle which stands for unity. There are three green candles which represent the future and three red candles which represent the struggle out of slavery. It is not considered a religious holiday. The first US postage stamp commemorating Kwanzaa was issued in 1997.
Traditional African clothing is worn throughout the Kwanzaa holiday.
