Today we celebrate the sixth day of Kwanzaa, Kuumba, meaning creativity. Today’s principle is to do always as much as we can to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it.

A song for reflection: Africa, John Coltrane

Thought of the day: Jones, Leroi (Amiri Baraka). Bles People: Negro Music in White America. William Morrow, 1963. Introduction, ix-x.
