Umoja means "unity" in KiSwahili. NAACP’s Umoja Festival, on September 3, 2008, represented unity between all of the minority organizations on campus. Orgs like BUS, SALSA, and Modista held tables at the festival. KSU's Gospel Choir did song and step and the Golden Reflections did a dance routine. NAACP also filled Oscar Ritchie’s grounds with spoken word.
The festival concluded with an introduction of the Pan African Studies staff and the leaders of the student organizations. This brought light to the underlying purpose of the festival; to encourage students to get involved in the minority organizations on campus and learn more about the Pan African Studies department.
After two hours of music and socializing they got their point across pretty well.
