Welcome

Join us for a vibrant Kwanzaa celebration centered around self-determination at the African-American Research Library and Cultural Center!

African American Research Library & Cultural Center 2025 Kwanzaa is hosted by Yes Baby I Like It Raw

We're gathering in the spirit of Kujichagulia, to define, speak for, and create ourselves. The celebration is an opportunity to honor our heritage while building forward together.

This year's theme “Africa Rising: Celebrating Heritage, Building Futures,” invites us to reflect on the past, be rooted in the present, and imagine what the future holds. From cultural expression to economics, wellness, and healing, we’re honoring the full spectrum of who we are as a global African community.
