Join the Gwinnett County Black Chamber of Commerce for the 'Gwinnett County Kwanzaa Celebration: Ujima 2024'. 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. We will celebrate the 5th day of Kwanzaa - Ujima which is Collective Work and Responsibility. 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.
The event will feature Kwanzaa activities, program, food from around the African diaspora (while supplies last), games, and entertainment. Please consider bringing a can of food/non-perishable item to contribute to a local food drive GCBCC is supporting.
