Razzle Dazzle City 's first Kwanzaa Ball well attended BY LAYLA &RMER THE CHRONICLE ' It looked like a convention for African kings and queens at WhiteSpace Gallery on the night of Dec. 28, as some of the city's best and brightest strutted around Resplendent in native garb. The first annual Kwanzaa Ball, the newest addition to the city wide Kwanzaa celebration, drew more than 100 people to the gallery for food and wine, live entertainment and plenty of time to socialize. ? A nonreligious national holiday that celebrates the culture * of African Americans, Kwanzaa is held each year from Dec. 26 - Jan. 1 . Seven principles are observed during this time, one on each day, through activities that mirror the day's objective. t More than 25-years-ago, a small group of local residents gathered to celebrate the holiday together. Since that time, it has grown to become a city wide event. Now, the observance of Kwanzaa here in town is growing again. Triad Cultural Arts, Inc., a new nonprofit that seeks to promote African American culture, took aspects of the Kwanzaa celebration under its wing this year. "There was really no real organized effort and this year has been one of the best Kwanzaas we've ever had, because we did try to bring everyone together and organize it," explained Lucy Vaughn, TCA board member and mother of Tichina Vaughn, a Rocia Terry, 20 with her boyfriend, JaShaun Peek.
