Kamala Harris: Our Kwanzaa Celebrations Are One of My Favorite Childhood Memories

EXCERPT:

HARRIS: "Happy holidays, everyone. I wanted to take a moment to send my warmest wishes to everyone celebrating Kwanzaa. Like so many other holidays, we will be celebrating Kwanzaa a little differently this season in our home. We’ll be doing it over Zoom. You know, my sister and I, we grew up celebrating Kwanzaa. Every year our family would — and our extended family, we would gather around, across multiple generations, and we’d tell stories. The kids would sit on the carpet and the elders would sit in chairs, and we would light the candles, and of course afterwards have a beautiful meal. And, of course, there was always the discussion of the seven principles. And my favorite, I have to tell you, was always the one about self-determination, Kujichagulia.”
