The Kwanzaa holiday was started in 1966 by a professor of Africana studies as a celebration of family, culture and community.

The seven principles of Kwanzaa are each honored for a day during the holiday. They are unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith.

L.A. Lee YMCA/Mizell Community Center is located at 1409 Sistrunk Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, FL, 33311.
