The annual Kwanzaa Celebration will be held Nov.
18 at Legends at Appalachian State University (ASU). Doors open
at 6 p.m. Admission is free, however, donations of toiletries
and children’s books will be collected at the door to be
given to non profit agencies in Boone.
Special guest is storyteller Obakunle Akinlana who uses drums
and other African musical instruments to present fun and exciting
traditional African folktales. The interactive musical performance
leads to a Karuma (feast). Come hungry for knowledge and a free

the United States. The celebration will include information

with Kwanzaa.
The celebration is sponsored by ASU’s Office of Multicultural
