Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility)
This third day of Kwanzaa we are to focus on building and maintaining our community together and make our brother’s and sister’s problems our problems and to solve them together.
Brothers and sisters, are we not living in a time when Ujima is so relevant? When we ponder the world around us, there is indeed a need for Ujima. So very vividly are we living the words of the profound quote of our brother, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
As we uplift in prayer our brothers and sisters in every Ferguson in America, the Congo, Nigeria, Palestine, the low wage Walmart workers, victims of abuse, and victims of human trafficking, we should know and understand that our brothers and sisters are suffering. Therefore, we all are suffering.
So, I encourage you to delve within oneself and ask, “Am I doing all that I can to stand for my brothers and sisters and our community, to help rebuild it, and to maintain what we’ve already inherited? After true evaluation, everyone’s answer should be, “no, I am not”. Certainly, the evidence of our world around us proves that we aren’t.
Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have much Ujima to do!
Peace and many Blessings,
La Royce

PEACE AND BLESSINGS! My family has aylwas recognized Kwanzaa and over the years we have aylwas recognized the seven principles and held family discussions about each principle on its respective day. But this year was special we celebrated Kwanzaa in full, we did not honor the commercialism of Christmas nor did we abide by rules by putting up a Christmas tree and decorations. We celebrate Christ daily this one day Christmas thing is really played out and just as we celebrate Christ daily, our family has made a pledge to celebrate and incorporate the seven principles of Kwanzaa daily. ITS A BEAUTIFUL THING, ALL PEOPLE SHOULD RECOGNIZE THE FULFILLING PEACE IN ACKNOWLEDGING AND EXERCISING THE SEVEN PRINCIPLES…MAY YOUR JOURNEY BE PEACEFUL AND BLESSED!

Zeeska – I’m grateful to you for tkinag time to visit our village. I don’t think that there is any special relevance to having kujichagulia and the black candle tied together.During Kwanzaa candles are placed in a special candleholder called the Kinara. There are seven candles (Mishumaa Saba) used, each representing one of the Seven Principles (Nguzo Saba) of Kwanzaa. The colors of the candles are red, green, and black which are the colors of the Bendera (or African Flag). The Mishumaa Saba consists of a single black candle, 3 red and 3 green candles. When putting the candles in the Kinara, the 3 red candles are placed on the left side. The 3 green candles are placed on the right. The single black candle is placed in the center and is the candle which will be lit first. On each day of Kwanzaa a new candle will be lit as a symbol of the Kwanzaa Nguzo or principle of that day. The candles will be lit in alternating colors. First the black candle is lit, then the farthest left red candle, then the farthest right green candle, then the next red, then next green, then the last red, and then the final green. The honor of lighting the candles depends on the family itself. As there are no rules as to who lights the candles, many families give the honor to the youngest child. Some give it to the eldest family member. And others share the duties, with a different family member lighting the candles each night.
