MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. (WSVN) - A South Florida organization kicked off a seven-day celebration for Kwanzaa in Miami Gardens.
The Diaspora Arts Coalition got festive for the holiday at the Betty T. Ferguson Recreational Complex, Thursday.
The celebration honors African and African-American heritage, and each day stresses a different principle such as: unity, self-determination, responsibility, creativity and faith.
People came together to celebrate and reconnect with their African heritage and principals through food, music and life lessons.
Families celebrated by decorating their households with art, colorful African clothes and fresh fruits that represent African idealism.
Kwanzaa runs through Jan. 1.
