Kiante Tate, 12, lights one of the seven candles of the kinara at the annual Capital City Kwanzaa Festival last Saturday. The event, held at Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School by the Elegba Folklore Society, drew hundreds of people honoring the seven principles highlighted during Kwanzaa’s seven days. Kwanzaa was founded in 1966 in the United States by Dr. Maulana Karenga.
