The Montclair African American Heritage Committee’s 22nd annual event is Saturday, June 4, 2011. The Committee is celebrating the theme of Kuumba (Creativity) this year: to do always as much as we can, in the way we can, in order to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it. It means thinking of ways to make our community better. The committee's symbol this year is Nkyinkyim, symbolic of toughness and the ability to face difficulties.
