Republican Party Releases Statement Commemorating Kwanzaa: ‘Reminds Us of the Great Diversity in America’
The Republican National Committee issued a statement marking the start of Kwanzaa on Thursday, offering best wishes to those observing the African heritage holiday at the end of a year in which the party said it needed to prioritize outreach in the black community.
“I want to extend my best wishes to all who are celebrating Kwanzaa,” RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said in the statement. “For families coming together to mark the occasion, I hope it is a joyous time of celebration with loved ones–and a time of meaningful reflection ahead of the New Year.”
Party Co-Chairman Sharon Day added: “From December 26 through January 1, many families will take time to celebrate African culture and history. Kwanzaa is a wonderful opportunity for all of us to honor the importance of family and community, and it reminds us of the great diversity in America. Happy Kwanzaa!”...
