Join the Gwinnett County Black Chamber of Commerce for the 'Gwinnett County Kwanzaa Celebration: Nia 2023'. The event will take place at the Gwinnett County Public Library - Norcross Branch, located at 5735 Buford Hwy, Norcross, GA 30071. It is a free and family-friendly event.
We invite all individuals of African descent -- Africans, African Americans, Caribbeans, Afro-Latinos, and the Black diaspora of the area -- to join us for this celebration of unity and Black power.

As members of the Black diaspora, let's come together to honor our ancestors, global customs and the power of becoming a Black united force in the United States and around the world.
