KwanzaaToday’s Principle: Kujichagulia (Self-Determination)

To define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves and speak for ourselves.

I believe the highest form of freedom for any people is the right to self-determination. In my lifetime, I saw apartheid end in South Africa. While not perfect, it was a miraculous thing to see black people begin to get from under the crushing yoke of a system that sought to destroy them mentally and spiritually. I hope that we all learn the value of self-determination.
