Michelle and I
extend our warmest wishes to families across the country celebrating
Kwanzaa this holiday season. Today begins a week-long celebration of
African-American heritage and culture
through family and community festivities. Kwanzaa’s seven principles –
unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility,
cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith
– are also shared values that
bind us as Americans. And in the spirit of the season, we reflect
on the blessings of the past year and commit to building a brighter
future for all our children. As families, friends, and neighbors come
together today to light the Kinara, our family
sends our best wishes for a happy and healthy new year.
