Umoja Karamu, meaning "unity feast" in Swahili, is an African American celebration begun in 1971 by Dr. Edward Sims, Jr., held on the fourth Sunday in November. 

Its purpose is to instill solidarity, Afrikan values, and appreciation of Afrikan heritage into Afrikan American families. Libations to honor ancestors, historical readings, music, and a potluck feast will mark this observance.

The celebration is based on five periods of African American life, each represented by a symbolic color and food.

1. The color black- Prior to Slavery – (black eye peas) represents black families (before slavery)

2. The color white- In Slavery – (White rice) symbolizes the scattering of black families (during slavery)

3. The color red- Upon Emancipation – (Red Fruit Juice) marks (Black Liberation Struggle)

4. The color green- Struggle for Humanity and Equality – (Green- veggies) significance (the struggle for civil rights and equality)

5. The color gold- Looking to the Future – (Corn) hope for (the future)
