Lighting the Umoja candle at the Cotton Club Museum wasn’t just a tradition—it was a powerful reminder of how unity and family shape our community. Folks gathered around tables decorated with family portraits, shared stories, and even met new friends, all while celebrating the first day of Kwanzaa. The drumming, singing, and honoring of ancestors made it feel like more than just a holiday—it was a call to support and uplift each other, no matter what. How do you keep unity alive in your own family or neighborhood? #Relationships #Kwanzaa #Gainesville
