Construct a Puzzle

Mini 149 - Kwanzaa Edition

Constructor's Note
This puzzle contains three of the seven principles of Kwanzaa, an African American & Pan-African holiday celebrating history, values, family, community, and culture created in 1966. There are a lot of proper names that are likely familiar to you, even if the clues are not; I encourage you to Google and take the opportunity to learn new stuff! Feedback welcome as always.

    Definitely had to look up a few things, but it's an impressive feat of construction. Thanks!
