Kwanzaa
Kwanzaa consists of seven days of celebration, featuring activities such as candle-lighting and pouring of libations, and culminating in a feast and gift-giving. It was created by Ron Karenga, and first celebrated from December 26, 1966, to January 1, 1967. Karenga calls Kwanzaa the African American branch of "first fruits" celebrations of classical African cultures.
So yes, Kwanzaa was created in 1967 by some American black guy and it's celebrated mostly in America, and mostly by 1.6% of the population.
