Kwanzaa: A Family Codex is the ultimate 7 day guide for celebrating Kwanzaa! Perfect for a first time celebration with no knowledge of Kwanzaa principles, and also perfect for establishing and passing on a well bloomed tradition. A codex is just another name for a book, however, in ancient times it was a place to store notes, messages and stories written and documented on various materials and stored within. This is your modern version with annotations. This 7 day Kwanzaa holiday guide provides the outline for each day, song recommendations, and reflections of an African American family in search of connection through Kwanzaa as a new holiday tradition for them. There's a place for your family notes, prayers, intentions, recipes, decoration remnants and a spot for documenting the hashtags used for cataloging the digital photos taken over the course of the celebration week. Every household can personalize it for their collective reflections on unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith.
