DESCRIPTION:California State Capitol Kwanzaa Celebration \nNoon, Monday, December 26, 
 2016 John L. Burton Hearing Room (4203) \n\nSacramento, CA ~ Join us for a 
 special 50th Anniversary, California State Capitol Kwanzaa, featuring our 
 honored guest and keynote speaker, H.E. Ambassador Mathilde Mukantabana, 
 Republic of Rwanda to the United States of America. Local, State, National 
 and International participants are home for the holidays and will join our 
 annual event at the California State Capitol. \n\nTogether, we will return 
 to the heart of Africa, the Great Lakes Region of the African Continent, at 
 the Mountains of the Moon, the source of the Nile River to reflect upon on 
 our collective journey as people of African Ancestry, here in the Great 
 State of California. \n\nIn 1966, Dr. Maulana Karenga, the son of Maryland 
 Farmer and Baptist preacher distilled and created a synthesis of many 
 ancient African agriculture celebrations, from practical experience 
 celebrating "first fruits of the harvest" a global holiday now celebrates 
 50 years. \n\nToday, our “California Grown” Pan African holiday 
 challenges us to place a higher value on ancient African cultures while 
 utilizing modern scientific methodology toward expanding the practice of 
 our ancient/future, showcasing an understanding of the "first fruits of the 
 harvest." \n\nCalifornia remains the #1 Agriculture Economy in America, and 
 many agriculture sectors of "California Grown" products are the world 
 standard. California ranks No. 1 in U.S. fruit and nut production, growing 
 an overwhelming majority of the Nation’s grapes, strawberries, peaches, 
 nectarines, avocados, raspberries, kiwifruit, olives, dates, and figs. 
 California’s nut production supplies virtually all U.S. almonds, walnuts, 
 and pistachios. \n\nOur California Black Agriculture Working Group 
 continues to share our expanded vision of expanding equitable partnerships 
 throughout the California Agriculture industry, educational institutions 
 and supporting sectors of the economy. \n\nJob creation, career advancement 
 and community economic development is assured by engaging a new generation 
 of Black Agriculturalists throughout the State of California, ready to take 
 full advantage of expanding California ~ Pan African Agriculture Trade and 
 Commerce, in the spirit of Kwanzaa. \n\nOur California State Capitol 
 Kwanzaa is a festive, joyous celebration of the oneness and goodness of 
 life rooted in our ancient agrarian way of life. Kwanzaa is a living social 
 practice culminating in a week of remembering, reassessing, recommitting, 
 rewarding and rejoicing.\n
