On The Shoulders Of Our Ancestors is an important book. As the celebration of Kwanzaa grows in popularity each year, more African American people desire a much deeper understanding of its concepts and to better learn how to observe the Principles.
This book is not about Kwanzaa. It is about these seven Principles, the Nguzo Saba. Each one is a powerful and effective tool in the development of successful families and communities. These Principles represent how our ancestors survived the horrors of slavery, Jim Crow segregation, and second-class citizenship while yet maintaining their character to establish a moral foundation for future gererations.
