The world's largest Kinara now stands proudly in Detroit for a second year in a row. Happy Kwanzaa! ❤️🖤💚
Designed and built by Black architects, engineers, and carpenters, the 30-foot-tall tall solar-powered Kinara is a cultural beacon honoring the celebration of African American culture and heritage. The Kinara will be up throughout the seven-day holiday - come and see it!
The historic project came to be through the work of Alkebu-lan Village in collaboration with Downtown Detroit Partnership and the City of Detroit with the support of the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History.
This week, the Wright Museum will be hosting a full schedule of programming celebrating Kwanzaa, including family programming, a cultural showcase, holiday marketplace, and more! 🎁🎶
