The first night of Kwanzaa celebrates unity, the second night, umoja, is a celebration of community.  The third night is kwanza, and celebrates helping each other and working together.

Kwanzaa is a relatively new holiday that has become more popular since its establishment in the late 1980s.  It is primarily celebrated by African-Americans.

Not really.  Most people in the U.S. are Christian and celebrate Christmas, or some other holiday in the Christian calendar.  They tend to be against celebrating Kwanzaa because it celebrates African-American history and culture.  Most African-Americans like Kwanzaa, since it celebrates their heritage.
