UMOJA | Unity

Medway Marches was created by community members in 2020, as racial tensions rose and Medway, MA residents came together to answer the question, “What can we do?” The peaceful event they organized received a positive response and continued support resulting in an organization being created to create “deep-rooted, continual change.”
An invitation from MM activist Marques Crosby led me to talk with my house and Ursa Shabazz said let’s do it and suggested a theme for our presentation that builds on the Official Theme for Kwanzaa this year: Kwanzaa, Freedom, Justice & Peace: Principles and Practices For A New World. It goes: “Umoja: Global solidarity beats war & genocide”

We will gather at Thayer House at 3:30pm and once we conclude we will go to Choate Park to light the first candle.

Our first day of Kwanzaa begins, however, at Chicopee City Hall at 11am, with Mayor Vieau. Click here for more info on Chicopee officially celebrating Kwanzaa for the “first time with proclamation and flag raising.”
