It's a holiday meant to bring African Americans closer together as a community by representing several of the harvest celebrations of their ancestors.

It's another holiday meant to bring people together, this one created in the 20th century after an unfortunate riotous incident, where the sense of family and personal ideals was necessary.

Anything that draws attention away from violence and hostility is quite a beautiful sentiment, really.
