Kwanzaa was created 41 years ago by Dr. Maulana Karenga. 

 The Official Kwanzaa Website and the message of the Founder stress that:  “Kwanzaa was created to introduce and reinforce seven basic values of African culture which contributed to building and reinforcing family, community and culture among African American people as well as Africans thought the world. 
These values are called the Nguzo Saba which in Swahili means the Seven Principles.  Developed by Dr. Karenga, the Nguzo Saba stands at the heart of the origin and meaning of Kwanzaa, for it is these values according to Dr. Karenga which are not only the building blocks for our African American community but also serve to reinforce and enhance them.”
