Kwanzaa to celebrate at Cal State-Chico
CHICO, Calif., Dec 17, 2003 (The Orion, U-WIRE via COMTEX) --
Building from smaller Kwanzaa celebrations in the past, the Pan
African Union is preparing for the biggest one-day Kwanzaa
celebration ever on the California State University at Chico
campus.
With funding from the Associated Students Multicultural Affairs
Council, the PAU has spent the past two months organizing the
2003 Kwanzaa Celebration of The Seven Principles of Life (Live,
Laugh and Love). Tiffani Neal, co-coordinator of the free
celebration, said she is excited to see the event grow and is
open to more student participation.
"It's pretty amazing," Neal said. "They do this on a larger scale
in a lot of different cities, but this is the biggest public
celebration in Chico."
The event had taken place inside the smaller Selvester's
Cafe-by-the-Creek for the past four years.
This year's Kwanzaa celebration will feature master drummers and
dancers performing throughout the evening in both Acker Gym and
the Bell Memorial Union Auditorium on Thursday.
Julien Babinga, a choreographer from France touring through the
western part of the United States, will be making his second
visit to Chico and teaching a Congolese dance workshop at 3 p.m.
Neal said the idea to bring Babinga to the campus started with
just talk over who would teach the workshop, but they were able
to schedule the choreographer's appearance on short notice.
Everyone is invited to join the session along with Neal and the
rest of her African dance classmates.
"I think the movements are up-tempo," Neal said. "But our class
is a beginner's class, so everyone should be able to catch on."
The celebration will move on into the BMU Auditorium,
spotlighting the Senegalese drum and dance performance lead by
Chico choreographer Alain Zinzou. Mar'Keyth Powell, the other
co-coordinator of the Kwanzaa celebration, said he's looking
forward to Zinzou's performance and it should be eye-catching,
but he said the celebration is as educational as it is
entertaining.
"It's going to be a real learning experience for the people who
don't know much about Kwanzaa," Powell said.
Kwanzaa is a holiday created by Ron Karenga, a scholar and social
activist from California State University at Long Beach. It was
created in 1966 as an African-American weeklong event beginning
Dec. 26 and ending Jan. 1 each year. It's not a religious holiday
or a substitute for Christmas, but a time for the
African-American community to come together and celebrate its
accomplishments and recommit its goals.
While it's usually carried out as a weeklong event, the Chico
State celebration will take place in one night. The PAU hopes to
help educate the campus and the Chico community on what Kwanzaa
is and will have open microphones set up to allow those attending
to ask questions about the event. The celebration has a dual
purpose of educating non-African-American students about the
holiday.
Several interactive activities will be set up on tables
throughout the BMU Auditorium providing any information wanted
about Kwanzaa. Powell said the past celebrations were too crowded
and the event needed to be moved to a bigger venue to accommodate
a larger and more diverse crowd.
"I see the BMU Auditorium as a necessity for everyone to
participate in the Kwanzaa celebration," Powell said.
But the celebration has a deeper meaning for the African-American
community in Chico. Powell said it's important to celebrate
Kwanzaa here on campus, because African-American students at
Chico State come from many different places and they need to find
a common tradition to work together on.
"It's building unity amongst ourselves," Powell said. "This is an
opportunity to have some sort of support system on campus."
The planning for this year's Kwanzaa celebration started late,
but the PAU members were able to organize fast enough to get as
many people involved as possible. Minerva Williams, graduate
student and the celebration's project director, lead the way and
was able to make the event more than just a small campus event.
She said she became involved with the project seeking to start a
real dialogue between students about the different races and
cultures at Chico State.
"If we're given a real opportunity," Williams said, "we can
accomplish a lot more when we start really conversing."
