A strong proponent of family, he acknowledges the strength and love of his grandmothers and parents as the nurturing source that guided him to success as a writer. Believing this creed to be essential to world peace, his writings and speeches resonate with it. Scheduled each year for the Sunday before Thanksgiving, it is a day for people to put aside their political, racial, and socio-economic differences and to come together with a sense of community. The first Global Thanksgiving was celebrated in Spain with only 70 people in attendance. The second was celebrated at Plymouth Rock.
Admission is a dish made with warm loving hands.
As a kickoff to the holiday season, it is a reminder that the family and local communities are but microcosm of the global community and that as a part of each we are responsible for the tenor we bring to each.
