We came together with generations of friends and family and neighbors,” VP Harris said in her video, recorded with husband Doug Emhoff. “There were never enough chairs. So my sister and I and the other children would often sit on the floor and together we lit the candles of the kinara. And then the elders would talk about how Kwanzaa is a time to celebrate culture, community, and family. “And they, of course, taught us about the seven principles,” she continued.

“My favorite principle was always the second — kujichagulia. Self determination, the power to design your own life and determine your own future. And it is a deeply American principle, one that guides me every day as vice president.”

Kwanzaa was started in 1966 by Los Angeles black power activist and academic Maulanga Karenga (birth name Ronald McKinley Everett), founder of the Us Organization. Kamala Harris was born in 1964, before the holiday even existed, and long before it was popular enough that there was a high likelihood she was sitting on the floor as a wee tyke, talking with her sisters about the seven principles of Kwanzaa.
