The Unitarian Universalist church helped begin Kwanzaa with a grant given to the US Organization, headed by Kwanzaa's founder, Dr. Ron Karenga, in the late 1960s. The grant helped fund the research done to create the Kwanzaa celebration. The New Journal and Guide is a regional weekly newspaper based in Norfolk, Virginia, and serving the Hampton Roads area. The weekly focuses on local and national African-American news, sports, and issues and has been in circulation since 1900.
