Please delete or fix the link "Pan American" which leads to a disambiguation page. I don't know what the term is referring to in the context of the article. Cerulean Depths (talk) 20:00, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wonder what that was doing there? Gone. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 02:12, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please make the following addition to the article, in the next to last paragraph in the section "History and etymology", after the last sentence that reads "Many African Americans who celebrate Kwanzaa do so in addition to observing Christmas."

In December 2022, Reverend Al Sharpton, Mayor Eric Adams, businessman Robert F. Smith, Reverend Conrad Tillard, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, and Elisha Wiesel joined to celebrate Kwanzaa and Hanukkah together at Carnegie Hall.^[1][2][3][4] 2603:7000:2143:8500:2444:FA7E:10BC:53DD (talk) 06:38, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Change: The initial Karamu Ya Imani occurred on January 1, 1973 at a 200-person gathering at the Ridgeland club, followed by the airing of grievances and feats of strength.[35] To: The initial Karamu Ya Imani occurred on January 1, 1973 at a 200-person gathering at the Ridgeland Club.[35]

Airing of grievances and feats of strength are hallmarks of Festivus, not Kwanzaa. This looks like vandalism. Thanks! 64.66.92.131 (talk) 21:54, 28 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. Thanks. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 05:14, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
