Kujichagulia - or self determination - was the Kwanzaa princi ple celebrated Friday at Delta Arts Center. A seven-day African American community and culture celebra tion, Kwanzaa celebrates a different principle each day from Dec. 26 - Jan. 1. Seven venues throughout the city hosted Kwanzaa events last week. It was the first time the Delta Arts Center, a gallery on New Walkertown Road founded by members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, hosted one of the city wide Kwanzaa events. "It feels like the right use of the space," Delta Board Chair Cynthia Jeffries said. "It feels like it's part of our mission." The more than 80 attendees were surrounded by large, colorful quilts made by Lakota Indians, which adorned the walls for Delta's latest exhibit. Like at all Kwanzaa events, the elders (those 65 and older) had to grant permission before the celebration could proceed at Delta Arts, the ancestors were honored with a libation and hands were joined for a closing Harambee chant. There were also aspects that made the Delta Arts event stand out. An abbreviated version of the Kwanzaa documentary "The Black Candle," which is narrated by famed poet and Winston-Salem resident Dr. Maya Angelou, was shown and acclaimed self-taught artist Leo Rucker was honored for being an example of self-deter mination. Rucker has a vast body of work, including large murals that can be found at places like the Clark Campbell Transportation Center and commissioned portraits like the one of the late Judge Roland Hayes that hangs in the Forsyth County Courthouse.
