He is co-founder and Creative Director of Asian Improv aRts, a 15-year-old multidisciplinary arts production company and is the current Executive Producer of Asian American Jazz/SF, the longest running jazz festival in San Francisco
Saxophonist Francis Wong has played a leadership role in the Asian-American jazz movement, crafting political music on human rights themes, as well as playing activist roles in San Francisco's Asian lmprov record company and the annual Asian American Jazz Festival and working with Jon Jang, Mark Izu, and Anthony Brown on large-scale band projects
While this week's San Francisco Jazz Festival (a few years younger than the Asian American Jazz Festival) gets media attention and corporate support (and dumps its occasional Asian night for Cuban and pop-themed concept shows), Wong and his compatriots continue to create vital music that springs from their lives in this community

Kwanzaa History, Customs & Cartoon Fun by Brownielocks
Includes cartoon and educational information about this ethnic and political
observance.
He discovered that all of these tribes celebrated some sort of harvest festival, at which time they remembered their ancestors, celebrated their good fortunes and planned the upcoming year
And therefore he also made it a 7-day celebration (because most other harvest festivals were 7-days) but also because then each day could represent one of the 7 Principles, which is another part of this holiday I'll get to later
Crops (Mazao) The mazao is a bowl of fruits and vegetables that represents the "harvest" symbolizing the roots of African agriculture festivals
This goes on until all seven candles are burning on the last day of the festival
