Wikipedia: Maulana Karenga created Kwanzaa in 1966 as the first specifically African-American holiday.2 Karenga said his goal was to “give Blacks an alternative to the existing holiday and give Blacks an opportunity to celebrate themselves and their history, rather than simply imitate the practice of the dominant society.” So having it at the same time as Christmas was not imitating “the practice of the dominant society”?
