Kwanzaa is NOT a real holiday.
Anything that gets African-American youth to think of themselves as part of
anything at all will be an improvement. If that man-made "holiday" gives
them a reason to reflect on the realities of their situation, it's better
than if they don't. If having their own midwinter festival helps them to
see the similarities between their cultural identities and those of others
groups, it's a good thing. (to put it in Martha Stewart's terms)
