Today we celebrate the first day of Kwanzaa, Umoja, meaning unity. Today’s principle is to strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race.

A song for reflection: Worth Weight in Gold (Rally Round the Flag), Steel Pulse.

Thought for the day: Morrison, Toni, Beloved, First Edition, Alfred A. Knopf 1987. pp 88
