Savannah holding first Kwanzaa Krawl Savannah holding first Kawanzaa Krawl By Bria Bolden | December 25, 2020 at 6:43 PM EST - Updated December 26 at 9:54 AM SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - Saturday is not only the first day of Kwanzaa, but itâs also a day some city leaders, artists and business owners hope will showcase Savannahâs African-American restaurants, art, and culture. Saturday is the first day of Kwanzaa and for many black artists and businesses across the city, itâll also be a new way to generate some much-needed revenue many missed out on during the pandemic. The seven-night event will highlight some of Savannahâs black-owned restaurants. Alderwoman Kesha Gibson-Carter says itâs time for Savannahians to support our black businesses, especially after very few received funding from the CARES Act.
