Almost nobody really 'celebrates' that 'holiday.' Somewhere around 1.2% - of African Americans - I recall reading somewhere.
I'm big into respecting people's beliefs and traditions, but some stuff is just silly. Kwanza is kind of like the soccer of holidays in the US. There are some few people who really, really want it to be taken seriously but for all practical purposes no one does.
Kind of like people who claim 'wicca' as their religion, but even less widespread.
I should add, however, that if folks want to do any of the above, then more power to 'em.
