He has a pretty good gig as Professor at Cal State. But sure he rakes in considerable $$ from Kwanzaa.
One day several years ago, when I was walking past some faculty offices at Cal State Long Beach, I was rather shocked to pass the office of a "Dr. Maulana Ron Karenga." The last time I had heard of Ron Karenga, he had been in a shootout on the UCLA campus when his gang, the United Slaves, got into a firefight with their rivals, the Black Panthers. I thought at first that this could be a different Ron Karenga, but no, it was the same one.
