For the past three years, I have celebrating Zwanzaa with family and friends. This year we decided to have more participation from our communities. I purchased the book "How to Plan a Zwanzaa Celebration for family, community and public events. After reading the book, I bought ten copies as gifts for family and friends. We are now studying and practicing the seven principles of Zwanzaa.My God children attended the celebration this year and to my surprise retained quite a bit of information. My eleven year old God Son was so impressed, he wants to do a book report on Zwanzaa for Black History Month and asked if I would prepare all the food in the book for his classmates. I told him we would talk. How to Plan a Zwanzaa Celebration is not just for adults but the children are reading it. I know it really helped us to have a successful Zwanzaa.
