Celebrated at the Museum for more than 20 years, the free, annual Kwanzaa Celebration is presented in partnership with Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Saint Louis Metropolitan Alumnae Chapter.
About the event
The event’s theme this year is “Abakobwa ni Abanyembaraga: Limitless Power and Potential.” The phrase, in the Rwandan language Kinyarwanda, translates to “girls are powerful people.” The free event will honor the resilience of woman athletes at the Olympics.
