It centered around the seven core principles.
"Usually the first day of Kwanzaa is Umoja, which means unity, so everybody comes together in a form of unity," Akbar James Watson said. "We talk about the struggles that we did throughout the year, and we bring those together to celebrate those struggles and the accomplishments that happen throughout the year."
Kwanzaa ends on the first day of the new year.
