DuSable Museum Kwanzaa Exhibit - Chicago
(November 15, 2004 - January 3, 2005)

In 1966, Dr. Maulana Karenga created Kwanzaa, an African American holiday celebrating family, community and culture.  Today Kwanzaa is practiced by millions of people.  The DuSable Museum's annual exhibition highlights paintings, textiles, artifacts and sculptures representing the African Diaspora from the Museum's permanent collection.
