The beat goes on during Kwanzaa

With Ujomo (unity) and Kujichagulia (self determination) noted during the first two days of Kwanzaa, the seven-day observance rolled on to Ujima (collective work and responsibility) with observances on Friday.

The celebration of Ujima included a Mid-South Kwanzaa Inc. evening observance at Exum Towers, 3155 Sharpe. Reuben and Lula Barnes were the sponsors.

TSD photojournalist Tyrone P. Easley supplied these images:
