Day 1: December 26th
Principle: UMOJA - Unity
Symbol: Dagi Knot
Candle: Black
Unity is not just a gathering of people, it is a gathering based on purpose and ideals; togetherness of the mind.
Umoja (Unity) is the first principle of Nguzo Saba and ultimately the foundation for which other principles are built.
Unity, as with all principles, is best reflected with practice as practice creates habit.
Unity isn't just being together, instead unity should be revered and practiced with harmonious morals.
Unity should be observed and displayed through all things good bad and of mutual benefit.
Unity begins with the family, not solely immediate family but the generations passed and those to come.
Unity at its core is oneness; the totality of combining all parts into one.
All morals, principles, values and practices held within a family are a reflection of what is displayed, tolerated and carried out in the community and amongst the nation and race.
