NYC PUBLIC ADVOCATE'S STATEMENT IN CELEBRATION OF KWANZAA

 

"I want to send love and light to all who begin celebrating Kwanzaa today. Throughout this celebration, we honor and uplift African American culture and heritage. The seven principles of unity, self determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith that we mark each day of Kwanzaa are values to embrace and emulate throughout the year.


"During Kwanzaa, we reflect on the example and learn from the model of our ancestors, carrying their legacy and strengthened by their lessons. Bolstered by the seven principles, guided by those who have come before, and strengthened by the many blessings in our lives, in our lives, we can overcome challenges and confront obstacles in the next year as we did in the last. 


"In the spirit of Umoja, let us come together with purpose and toward progress. United in spirit, we look ahead with resolve, and move forward with the hope of triumph. Habari Gani."
