On Tuesday, December 14, from 6 to 8 pm, the We Win Institute presented its 14th annual Kwanzaa Celebration to the community. The celebration was free and open to the public at Zion Baptist Church in North Minneapolis.

Good food and beverages filled the tables while dancers performed traditional African dances to the beat of lively drummers. About 30 of the We Win Institute’s students put on different hats and took on the role as teachers for the evening.

Each student in turn spoke to those in attendance about the history and the different principles of Kwanzaa. The We Win institute students also entertained the audience with songs and spoken word poetry.

Currently, the We Win Institute program has over 250 students between three locations: Cooper High School, Zion Baptist Church, and a building on the corner of 38th St. and 3rd Avenue South in Minneapolis formerly known as the Greater Friendship Church.
