DURHAM, NC Wednesday, December 26th, 2018– Hayti Heritage Center and The Magic of African Rhythm host the Hayti Legacy Kwanzaa at the Hayti Heritage Center, 804 Old Fayetteville St. Durham, NC 27701. The theme for this year’s festival is New Water from Ancient Wells in recognition and celebration of Durham’s young, gifted and Black millennials innovating on the community’s legacy of culture, entrepreneurship, and activism.

Everyone is invited to partake in African Diasporic music, history and culture workshops provided by BUMP: the Triangle; chess with Coach Eric Zeigler; and a sampling of movement and music classes taught by local arts instructors.
