kwaanza is african-american holiday, not “african” in origin. but may be the best you can get. the bad thing, we think of africa as “one” when it is not. i don’t know for sure but 35-40 countries, i suppose. maybe 54??!? comes to mind. some, like canary islands don’t claim to be african.
so… maybe google kenyan, nigerian, congolese, or ethiopian holidays. those may have a higher population in usa and have holidays. an out may be ethiopia. they are orthodox Christian, as is russia and greece. some religious holidays may work… best wishes for his project!
i like working with africa- it is a hard nut to crack since there is so little info.
