STREET BEAT: ‘What does Kwanzaa mean to you?’

Zoe Ridgeway
Culver City
“Me and my mom celebrated Kwanzaa two years ago and we celebrated all seven days. It seemed nice trying out a new tradition, but now we’re just doing Christmas.”
Barry Reed
Los Angeles
“I don’t know enough about Kwanzaa so maybe I need to educate myself more and get into the spirit of Kwanzaa as well as the spirit of Christmas.”
Mignon Reed
Los Angeles
“I don’t celebrate Kwanzaa. I celebrate Christmas because it’s about Christ. I celebrate Christmas and not Kwanzaa.”
Ellen Snead
View Park
“I recognize Kwanzaa and I respect it. I’m going to Palmdale to celebrate it on Saturday and I’m looking forward to it.”
