		It was founded by Ron Karenga, and first celebrated from December 26, 1966, to January 1, 1967.
		Carlotta Morrow, Christian freelance writer, uses Karenga's own writings to criticize the holiday, writing that Karenga claims Kwanzaa was created as an alternative to Christmas in his early accounts, but contradicts himself in his most recent writings.
		William Norman Grigg noted the seven-branch candle holder, the Kinara, was not used in African traditions, and suggested a symbol of Judaism, the menorah, was borrowed to match the seven principles of Kwanzaa.

		Karenga's history has it that the extra "a" was added to represent the seven children that were a part of his organization, (US Organization) as each child wanted to represent a letter of Kwanzaa.
		Karenga shows more evidence of his desire to create not only just a 7-day holiday, but a way of life complete with principles to be followed daily.
		Karenga's hatred of God-fearing religions prompted him to create his own system of principles that apparently he hoped would steer men away from what he felt was a weakness -- a belief in God.

	THE BLACK PLAGUE
		Ron M. Everett, self-rechristened Swahili "maulana" (equivalent to Rabbi, of all things) Ron Karenga, wove the Kwanzaa tapestry out of whole cloth on 26 December 1966.
		On 09 May 1970 Karenga commenced interrogation of two Black women that led to his conviction on two counts of felonious assault and one count of false imprisonment for the beating and torture of Deborah Jones and Gail Davis.
		Karenga's National Association of Kawaida Organizations (NAKO) hucksters "a communitarian African philosophy which is an ongoing synthesis of the best of African thought and practice in constant exchange with the world." This is faery dust.

		Since then, the holiday has gained mainstream adherents, and Karenga has altered its justification so as not to alienate practicing Christians: "Kwanzaa was not created to give people an alternative to their own religion or religious holiday," he writes in Kwanzaa: A Celebration of Family, Community, and Culture, published in 1997.
		In fact most of the criminal records of Ron Karenga, a former radical Black-student leader who later became a Marxist and a professor of Black Studies, have been ignored and have strangely disappeared.

		Ron Karenga is an outright traitor and killer, and US was a tool of the FBI/LAPD, simple as that.
		But let's cut to the chase: I frankly believe that many folks who come down in favor of "rehabilitating" Karenga are people who just disagree with the revolutionary legacy of the Black Panther Party and are down with US as both a past and present political movement, or have some weak ideal about Black/class Unity.
		I/we will not work with Karenga, Cotton Smith, Butler (the snitch in Geronimo Pratt's case), or any other turncoat Panther/police infiltrator regardless of his current role or campaign he is involved in.

		After meeting Malcolm X as a college student in the 1960s, Karenga became politicized and helped found the US organization, which among other things promoted a cultural revolution for African Americans.
		In 1966, Karenga created Kwanzaa, a holiday designed to celebrate and honor the values of ancient African cultures and inspire African Americans to greater pride in their heritage.
		The name comes from the Swahili phrase “matunda ya kwanza,” which means “first fruits of the harvest.” Karenga chose a phrase from Swahili because the language is used by various peoples throughout Africa.
