Joshua Levs of member station WABE in Atlanta reports on some of the African Americans who celebrated Kwanzaa this year. Today marks the end of the seven-day holiday, which is based on African harvest festivals. People of all ages came to Kwanzaa ceremonies in Atlanta this year seeking personal, political and even professional renewal.

Translating from Swahili, they are: 1) Umojoa, which means unity; 2)Ujima, which means collective work and responsibility; 3) Kujichagulia, or self determination; 4) Ujamaa, cooperative economics; 5) Nia, purpose; 6) Kuumba, Creativity; and 7) Imani, faith. Together, these principles are known as the "Nguzo Saba."
