Long Beach’s African American Cultural Center hosts a big Kwanzaa event on Thursday, celebrating the theme of “Nia,” or purpose. The event features cultural performances with music and dance, a candle lighting ceremony, activities for kids, and the opportunity to connect with friends and neighbors in the community. Plus, a Karamu Feast inspired by the season will be served.
