Can non black people celebrate Kwanzaa? What is the second day of Kwanzaa called?

Kwanzaa is open to everyone who wants to learn about and respect African-American culture. Non-Black people can celebrate Kwanzaa by supporting Black-owned businesses, attending community events, reading books by Black authors, listening to Black music, and learning about the history and struggles of Black people in America and around the world.

One of the main features of Kwanzaa is the celebration of the seven principles, or Nguzo Saba, that represent the core values of African culture.

Each day of Kwanzaa is dedicated to one of these principles, which are: unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith.

The second day of Kwanzaa is called Kujichagulia, which means self-determination. This principle encourages Black people to define themselves, name themselves, create for themselves, and speak for themselves.

To celebrate Kwanzaa, people decorate their homes with African symbols and colors, light candles in a special candleholder called a kinara, exchange gifts, and share a communal feast on the last day. Some people also wear traditional African clothing or costumes during the festivities.
