The award-winning Kwanzaa documentary, The Black Candle, will be screened as part of the annual heritage celebration. The film, narrated by poet Maya Angelou, tells the history of Kwanzaa and includes well-known sports, music and arts leaders who explore the African-American experience as it relates to seven founding principles (unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith) that continue to be relevant today. A discussion follows the film.
Saturday 12/27. Free, 3pm. Jefferson School African American Heritage Center, 233 Fourth St., NW. 260-8720.
