Observing the principle Imani, which means Faith. To believe with                                                                                                     all our hearts in our people and the righteousness and victory of our struggle.

 

                                                                                                The doors will open to the public at noon and the performances will begin at 2:00                                                                                                              pm at the historic Durham Armory. Kwanzaa appeals to a diverse audience, as AADE                                                                                                          seeks to preserve and promote the fine traditions of African and African American dance                                                                                                  and music to the broad community. We also have a Children’s village with a drumming class and the first one hundred children will receive a “Davis goodie” bag filled with educational materials, toys, and coupons from local businesses. The gathering is both an open market for vendors and a performing arts concert. The concert is filled with dancing, singing, poetry, and more. In honor of Baba Chuck Davis donated canned foods and toiletry items will be given to a local non-profit.
