Each tribe or community in Africa would come together to sing, dance, eat and drink and celebrate the harvest of the first fruits and vegetables. The would bring food they grew or items they made to give to the feast.

So, this is how they came-up with the "Georgia Peach" card! I always thought that the peach on the card was a symbol of it being grown in Georgia. I seen it being used a lot at the grocery storys during the holidays. Thought it was used to provide food but never thought about its impact on KWANZAA. Glad to help-out!:D:D:D:D
