EVENT ALERT: Kwanzaa Celebration at Pamoja



Celebrate unity, purpose and other principles during the Kwanzaa 2008 celebration at Pamoja Cultural Art Center.

The annual event will run through New Year's Day as the Pamoja Art Society, The Black Artist's Coalition and The Linwood Village Merchants invite the community to observe the week-long holiday designed to honor African heritage.

The event will feature community leaders and volunteers. Shreveport City Councilman Calvin Lester Jr., Rep. Roy Burrell, Luther Cox and more will be on hand to recognize the seven Kwanzaa principles, which include Umoja (unity), Kujichagulia (self-determination), Ujima (collective work and responsibility), Ujamaa (cooperative economics), Nia (purpose), Kuumba (creativity) and Imani (faith).

While there, check out the "Seven Sisters" art exhibit which features the works of seven local female artists, including the late Frances Drew. The exhibit runs through Jan. 1.
