A Kwanzaa Lesson from George W. Bush

I realized that when thinking about the weeklong festival of Kwanzaa, my mind naturally gravitates to George W. Bush, who said in his 2004 Presidential Kwanzaa Address: “During Kwanzaa, millions of African Americans and people of African descent gather to celebrate their heritage and ancestry. Kwanzaa celebrations provide an opportunity to focus on the importance of family, community, and history and to reflect on the Nguzo Saba or seven principles of African culture. These principles emphasize unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith.”  Way to go, Sir – you got one right!
