PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A crowd watched history be made on the first day of Kwanzaa Tuesday.

The cultural holiday was founded in the 1960s by California State University Professor Dr. Maulana Karenga.

"It started here in the United States but it's rooted in African traditions and culture," said artist Maisha Ongoza.

She created what is called a kinara, or candle holder, made especially for Kwanzaa. Hers is the first to be lit at Philadelphia City Hall. She said she created other kinaras for other U.S. cities. However, this one was special because it was for her hometown.

"I wanted this one to be much more comprehensive," Ongoza said. "So, it has all seven symbols. It has the fruit. It has the Unity Cup. It has the gifts."



It also had The Seven Principles and three colors of Kwanzaa.

"Black for the people. Red for the struggle," she explained. "And then green is normally for the land. But during Kwanzaa, we say it's for the future and hope that it brings."

The ladies of the Big Little Sister trio sang the Black National Anthem, understanding that all the phones and cameras in the crowd would record them helping to make history.

"Sharing a voice that we never could have years ago," said vocalist Soleil Brown-Alexander. "It really does bring tears almost. It's just beautiful to see."



Ongoza could only smile knowing the celebration will run all week long.

"I'm feeling the love and the unity from people," she said.

Jews [were] an important presence in the civil rights movement. About half of the white civil rights attorneys in the South in the 1960s were Jews. More than half of the white freedom riders in the 1960s were Jews, and nearly two‑thirds of the white volunteers involved in

California State University Professor Dr. Maulana Karenga
Violent militant revolutionary punk thug nigger with killing ideology of Maoism. He was awarded a number of PhD's, each was based upon single written essays. A real "kill whitey" theme is behind that fake Kwanzaa "holiday". White Americans, for the most part are ridiculously stupid about the real meaning of Kwanzaa. White women who sucked up Oprah's propaganda for decades were those stupids. Ineducable women, many of whom were bandwagoning Jews who looked past the real origin/ideology of Kwanzaa then promoted Oprah to White women, many were paid cash to attend and be in the audience.

FBI Report
45 pages, here's some key points.
At a black power conference in San Diego in August,
1967, Karenga told his audience to "stop killing black people.
This doesn't mean you must not kill, but just don't kill black
people." During a question-and-answer period at the end of
this conference, concerning the type of society the Negroes
were going to establish when they succeeded in taking over the
United States, Karenga was asked, "What are you going to do with
the white people?" "When the black man takes over," Karenga
expounded, "some of you who like dogs will be allowed to keep
a few white people around the house as pets."


At the time of the Watts riot in August, 1965, Karenga
led a group that advocated the Watts section secede from the
city of Los Angeles and form a separate city. Taking a more
panoramic view, he now wants neither integration nor a land
grant to be used for segregation purposes. He wants the entire
black community to secede politically, economically, socially,
and spiritually from the white community but to remain physically
within its center until the "black nation" evolves and destroys
the white community.
"We do not want one state," he claims,
"we want all 50 and want to be able to walk and work wherever
we want to in those places, and if we cannot do that we don't
feel that other people should,"

The audience at a black action conference in Palo Alto,
California, in September, 1967, were told to teach their children
to hate "whitey" and never to pity the "honkies."
"Redneck," "pigs," "devils, " "peck," "whitey," and
"honkie" are over-used epithets for white people. "The only
good honkie is a dead honkie," claimed Karenga at an US rally in
August, 1967, comprised of 800 to 1,000 people.
The following directive appears in [his book] The Quotable Karenga:
"When the word is given we'll see how tough you
are. When it's 'burn,' let's see how much you
burn. When it's 'kill,' let's see how much you
kill. When it's 'blow up,' let's see how much
you blow up. And when it's 'take that white
girl's head too,'
we'll really see how tough
you are.
On a television show in September, 1967, Karenga
stated that the white man in America was going to have to be
eliminated for the Negro to attain his goals.

The following remarks were made by Karenga at a
black rally held December 2, 1967, directly across from the
United States Naval Hospital in San Diego, to protest discrimination at the hospital:
"We're going to get to the point. We're going to
take the white man's life.
And don't turn to Jesus
or the President. They can't help you."
"We've got to take the honkie's head. We must work
at it every day, but mostly at night."
"We cannot be free until every white man is off this
planet.
They even train niggers to kill us."

"We're fighting the honkies, not the system. Take
Whatever you want and need now, even his (white) life."
-21

"The white man is free because he is
oppressing us.
You have to move on the white even if it means
violence and bloodshed."
"You shouldn't be afraid of death because you ain't
living anyway.
"Your first job is to kill Jesus and the other honkies
will fall into line. And the white man dies."
"We just have to make them die faster than anyone
else."
Guerrilla Warriors

It is rumored that US is conducting paramilitary
training among its more trusted members. This training sup
posedly is conducted on weekends in the Newhall-Palmdale,
California, area and involves rifle range practice and the
simulating of urban revolution situations. Investigation by
local law enforcement agencies has not substantiated this
rumor. THEY ARE, THEY ARE VIA NAAGA & STREET GANGS.

John Henrik Clarke made it clear that Karenga went to prison for “mutilating black women.”

Criminal conviction and imprisonment

In 1971, Karenga was sentenced to one to ten years in prison on counts of felony assault and false imprisonment.[22] One of the victims gave testimony of how Karenga and other men tortured her and another woman. The woman described having been stripped naked and beaten with an electrical cord. Karenga's estranged wife, Brenda Lorraine Karenga, testified that she sat on the other woman's stomach while another man forced water into her mouth through a hose.

A May 14, 1971, article in the Los Angeles Times described the testimony of one of the women:
Deborah Jones, who once was given the Swahili title of an African queen, said she and Gail Davis were whipped with an electrical cord and beaten with a karate baton after being ordered to remove their clothes. She testified that a hot soldering iron was placed in Miss Davis' mouth and placed against Miss Davis' face and that one of her own big toes was tightened in a vise. Karenga, head of US, also put detergent and running hoses in their mouths, she said. They also were hit on the heads with toasters.[23]

Jones and Brenda Karenga testified that Karenga believed the women were conspiring to poison him, which Davis has attributed to a combination of ongoing police pressure and his own drug abuse.[10][24]

Karenga denied any involvement in the torture, and argued that the prosecution was political in nature.[10][25] He was imprisoned at the California Men's Colony, where he studied and wrote on feminism, Pan-Africanism, and other subjects. The US Organization fell into disarray during his absence and was disbanded in 1974. After he petitioned several black state officials to support his parole on fair sentencing grounds, it was granted in 1975.[26]

Karenga has declined to discuss the convictions with reporters and does not mention them in biographical materials.[24] During a 2007 appearance at Wabash College, he again denied the charges and described himself as a former political prisoner.[27]

Bamboo Shades, pg 10

Whether or not Karenga has been stimulated by an ill
wind blowing from the East, the fact remains that several of his
innovations resemble those now in existence in Communist China.
Besides the similarity between The Quotable Karenga and the
Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung, the Simba groups make
one wonder if Karenga was inspired by the news media pictures
of the hordes of youth in China's Red Guard.

###
Simba groups are militant teenage groups, age 8 and up.
My understanding based on his other writings, Kwanzaa was created to foment a cultural revolution to pull blacks together into a revolutionary group, Karenga stated, a violent take over revolution would then happen.
