A Presidential First: Happy Diwali
By David Dashifen Kees on October 26th, 2011
From the YouTube description:
On Wednesday, President Obama observed the auspicious holiday of Diwali, or festival of lights, in the East Room of the White House. The occasion marked the first time that an American President has observed the holiday.
Thank you, President Obama, for doing your part to help us all remember that this nation is made up of many different faiths, some familiar and some unfamiliar. We here at the Hail Columbia Project would also like to wish our Hindu, Sikhs, Jain, and Buddhist friends a happy Diwali.
