On Monday at the Statehouse, Governor Kelly celebrated Kwanzaa—a time to reflect on our shared values of unity, purpose, and community.
On social media the governor wrote, "lighting the kinara today served as a powerful reminder of Kansas' commitment to the guiding principles and rich history of Kwanzaa."
The weeklong Kwanzaa holiday from Dec. 26 through Jan 1. celebrates African-American family, community and culture. Its origins are in the first harvest celebrations of Africa.
