Is Kwanzaa really a holiday made up by a convicted kidnapper / torturer?

[VEGASDESERT]

If true, how did it gain such prominence on American television and media?

Just wondering..

I never saw Kwanza special on TV or the Kwanza tree lighting ceremony so dont think it is as prominent as you think...

Call me when there is a Simpsons Kwanza episode

Phantom Fireworks sends me e-mails about their "Celebrate Kwanzaa" specials, buy 1 get 400 free fireworks each year.

Of course, they do this for pretty much every day with a capitalized name, like Mothers' Day and Secretary Day. Any excuse to sell more fireworks. So maybe that is not a good measure of prominence.
