KwanzaaToday’s Principle: Kuumba (Creativity)

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.

Friday night, a local peace activist was shot and killed here, in Cincinnati. It appears his life ended living the principle we celebrate today. Richard Muhammad had run-ins with the law in his past but, he took his experiences and channeled them in a new direction to help end gun violence in his part of the city. It’s this type of commitment to change that we need more of in our communities. Not all of us will risk our lives the way Mr. Muhammad did but, if we are committed, this may not be something for which we must put our lives in danger.
