From December 26 through January 1, we celebrate Kwanzaa — a time to reflect, reconnect, and recommit to values that strengthen our families and communities.

Each of the seven days of Kwanzaa honors one of the Nguzo Saba (Seven Principles) through candle lighting and intentional reflection:

🕯 Umoja (Unity)
🕯 Kujichagulia (Self-Determination)
🕯 Ujima (Collective Work & Responsibility)
🕯 Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics)
🕯 Nia (Purpose)
🕯 Kuumba (Creativity)
🕯 Imani (Faith)

Kwanzaa centers African-American heritage, culture, and values — reminding us that unity, purpose, and faith guide us forward.

✨ Joyous Kwanzaa ✨

Join the BPIR in wishing Bill Pickett a blessed 155th Heavenly Birthday!

From ranch hand to world-renowned performer, Bill Pickett’s legacy is woven into the very fabric of Black Western history. His innovation—Bulldogging—cemented him as a trailblazer whose impact still shapes rodeo arenas today.

We honor his boldness.
We honor his genius.
We honor the doorway he opened for Black Cowboys and Cowgirls across America.

His story is our story. His legacy continues through the BPIR and the communities that carry his name forward.
