Released on 12/02/01, here are Mickey, Pluto and Goofy in ceremonial African garb. Behind them is a table laden with fruits, vegetables and grains. The table also holds a traditional Kwanzaa candelabra. Kwanzaa is a holiday that honors African-American culture. Kwanzaa is celebrated from December 26 until January 1. The word "Kwanzaa" means "first fruits" in Swahili. Kwanzaa is not a religious holiday, but a cultural one.
