Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Who created Kwanzaa?"
...Kwanzaa is a seven-day celebration of the "oneness and goodness of life.” Kwanzaa began in 1966 as a response to the disturbing riots in the Watts area of Los Angeles in 1965. Graduate student Maulana Ron Karenga saw a need for African-Americans to celebrate their differences and uniqueness in an annual event. Kwanzaa begins each year Dec. 26, continuing until Jan. 1. The joyous festival caters to the spiritual and social needs of African-Americans. Source: TheHolidaySpot.com
