Kwanzaa was founded by Dr. Maulana Kareng in 1966.

Umoja is the foundational principal of the Nguzo Saba (seven principles) for without it, all other principles suffer.

Kwanzaa is a unique African-American celebration with focus on the traditional African values of family, community responsibility, commerce, and self-improvement. Kwanzaa is neither political nor religious and despite some misconceptions, is not a substitute for Christmas.
Unity is a cardinal virtue of classic and general African societies.

Here it is focused on Family, Generational, Community, and Pan-African Umoja.
