Happy Kwanzaa with Tyroc of the Legion of Super-Heroes by Greg Fox (ALL)

This year’s seasonal commission of mine is from Greg Fox again. He and I wish everyone who celebrates it a very Happy Kwanzaa! To help with this, here is Tyroc holding a kinara to light the seven days, each candle represents one of the seven principles.

The seven principles of Kwanzaa are:

Umoja
Unity, or striving for unity in the family, community, nation, and race

Kujichagulia
Self-determination, or defining, naming, creating, and speaking for oneself

Ujima
Collective work and responsibility, or building and maintaining the community together and solving problems together

Ujamaa
Cooperative economics, or building and maintaining businesses together and profiting from them together

Nia
Purpose, or making the community the collective vocation and restoring the people to their traditional greatness

Kuumba
Creativity, or exploring and expressing unique talents and gifts to leave the community more beautiful and beneficial

Imani
Faith, or maintaining faith in shared values and the possibility of a brighter future

Kwanzaa begins on December 26th this year and goes for seven days to end on January 1st.
