Kuumba was founded in 1970 by two Harvard undergraduates, Dennis Wiley and Fred Lucas, both members of the class of '72. The name "Kuumba" was chosen because it allowed for all modes of Diasporic expression. In Swahili, "kuumba" roughly means creativity, though the literal meaning is more subtle: it is the creativity of leaving a space better than you found it. There were only 51 black students in the Harvard Class of 1972. Nearly double that number, 96, enrolled in the Class of 1973.
