Whereas the legacy of those of African American heritage is a rich and significant part of our nation's history;
And whereas the election of President Barack Hussein Obama is a pinnacle in that history; and whereas the cultural diversity of this nation is a core element of its greatness; and whereas this nation's many cultures often are best represented through visible personal styles; therefore, in the interest of publicly affirming the President's own genealogical and cultural heritage, and creating a more diverse open and accepting society; we respectfully request that the President of the United States commit to growing and wearing his hair in an Afro hairstyle during and for the duration of his final year in office, calendar year 2016.
