To each his own but I don't celebrate #Kwanzaa because the "African" holiday isn't "African" -- not to mention the founder was a Marxist. But, most African Americans 78% come from W. Africa -- with a little over 50% coming from a Yoruba tradition (southern Benin & Niger-Congo).
If you want to celebrate your roots, well then do it:
It's called the Yoruba Religiion.

Been 'round for quite along time. It's the religious traditions many African Americans practised before The Monster came to throw us all on slave ships .
We should move away from centering white people in cultural observations, that we’ve created for ourselves. Integrating #Kwanzaa with white society, would only serve to commercialize, and dilute the tradition.
The idea that #Kwanzaa is not mainstream, is another way of saying it hasn’t been accepted, and affirmed by white people. Why seek out their affirmation for our traditions, which we created for ourselves as an expression of our own Self Determination?
We don’t need their inclusion in our cultural or political projects, for them not to be marginal to us. As far as I’m concerned, #Kwanzaa is already mainstreamed, because my traditions are not marginal to me.
Besides, who even wants these RPOS celebrating our traditions anyway🤷🏿♂️

We often talk about Jewish contributions to the civil rights movement. There were many. But this rare look at the debt Jewish American success owes to the Black Power movement is fascinating and something that simply does not exist in non Black Jewish dialog.

Those examining the relationship of Jews and Women's March could gain a lot from the complex history in these pages and put into contextual history what is occurring before our eyes.
In fact, it may have not been until Black Nationalism that American Jews flipped their disinterest in helping Soviet Jews like me.
Because Black Nationalism saw self reliance as key, Jews had less place in pro Black activism and a model emerged for communal advocacy.
