The multicultural exhibition is on view at the Dallas Arboretum’s DeGolyer House through December 31.
The living room features Kwanzaa, created by Maulana Karenga during the 1960s civil rights era when the African American community wanted to reclaim their culture and identity.
“To have a holiday that African Americans can come to and do like all other holidays because all holidays have an object of reaffirming your faith principles and who you are,” Houston said.Kwanzaa was created in the 1960s for the African American community to celebrate their heritage.“Africans have a way still of putting their beliefs and values in the clothing, in the furniture, in the jewelry, in everything,” Houston said.
“I hope people take away from this a better understanding of how the Jewish community celebrates, how we take time on the Sabbath to really not do anything at sundown on Friday night for 24 hours and give ourselves rest, and peace, and community, and prayer,” Kort said. “Having the exhibition of Hannukah and Shabbat, especially during these times in our country, shows people what we celebrate, how similar we are, how similar Kwanzaa and Hannukah are to each other. It’s all a celebration, a festival of lights, bringing people together, peace and tranquility,” Kort said.
