This year the Kwanzaa festivities were held in the form of a drive-thru at Forest Hills Presbyterian Church in Cleveland Heights
So, this year the Kwanzaa festivities were held in the form of a drive-thru at Forest Hills Presbyterian Church in Cleveland Heights.
Keisha McMillen is one of the founders of the Extended Family, “So, we have a soul food meal prepared, and people come through the drive-thru they see a beautiful environment. They will hear some music - and they safely stay in their cars. We provided them with a gift which included a gift box and then we also gave the a soul food meal for their whole family.”
It’s steeped in history, African-American culture and symbolism, and even though the method of celebration has changed, the seven principles of Kwanzaa, including unity, remain the same. One woman even traveled from Columbus to be involved in the celebration at Forest Hills Presbyterian, and Janae Miller hopes the New Year will unite more people to live by the teachings of Kwanzaa, “We can agree to disagree but we can also embrace people’s differences and as a person with a disability I still would like to see more unity and less people left out.”
