Vice President Kamala Harris has forged a powerful legacy defined by resilience and groundbreaking achievements. Harris, a 60-year-old Oakland, California native and proud HBCU graduate, was born to immigrant parents: a Black Jamaican father and an Indian mother. She has blazed trails in every chapter of her career.

Harris plans to spend election night at Howard University, an historically black university and her alma mater. It sends a powerful message. Her roots are planted in the rich history of Black activism. As with any election, one side will celebrate a hard-fought victory and the other will feel the sting of a painful loss.

On the last night before the U.S. election, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris is in Philadelphia with guests Lady Gaga, Oprah Winfrey, and Ricky Martin to make her final pitch to Pennsylvania voters.

Vice President Kamala Harris received a slew of celebrity endorsements during her campaign, leading to questions of their impact.

Kamala Harris was a few battleground states away from being elected the nation’s first woman president, but she couldn’t overcome an unpopular incumbent president and a fed-up American electorate. Her supporters are reeling from a historic loss and a glass ceiling they feel is bolted down by centuries-old race and gender barriers.
