President Obama wishes all Americans, including Asian American and Pacific Islanders, a Happy Lunar New Year, which is the Year of the Dragon, beginning today, January 23rd.
I like the fact that Obama recalls his childhood growing up in Hawaii (which is predominately Asian), as he sincerely recalls his youthful memories of Lunar New Year celebrations past – with parades, fireworks, and small family gatherings. And how Obama reiterates that America is stronger because of its diversity, not in spite of it. Happy Lunar New Year!
