KWANZAA COLORS & DECORATIONS
The colors of Kwanzaa are the black, red and green colors given by Marcus Garvey as national
colors for African people throughout the world. The meaning of these colors are Black for the
people, Red for their struggle and Green for the hope and future that comes from their struggle.
Black, Red and Green are the colors utilized in decorations for Kwanzaa. Kwanzaa decorations
should include traditional African items, i.e., patterns, art objects, harvest symbols, etc.
