Celebrate Lancaster: Honoring Umoja

Umoja, meaning unity in Swahili, is the spirit of community. The City of Lancaster and Crispus Attucks are working together to make this year’s Celebrate Lancaster an even bigger celebration of Lancaster City’s residents and their cultures by celebrating the feeling of Umoja and its connection to African American culture.

Join us for Celebrate Lancaster:  Honoring Umoja!
