School pride* forces me to add that when Ron Karenga (as he was then
known) invented Kwanzaa (which, given Swahili penultimate stress
principles, "should" be stressed on the second of the three /a/s), it
was during his days (and mine) at UCLA around 1966-68.

(*School pride hasn't yet forced me to get around to making alumni
contributions, so they'll have to settle for what they can get.)
