highest office. For the first time in 231 years, the United States of America has elected

              the first Black woman to serve aptly as the nation’s vice president.



              Harris carries the weight of history on her shoulders for women, Blacks, Indian-Harris

              has shattered an unspoken covenant of an exclusive men’s club that has largely

              excluded minorities and effectively excluded women. Today, the nation said, “No

              more!”



              As the first person of color elected to the vice presidency, her very “being” is the

              epitome of the multi-cultural America this nation is striving—in fits and starts—to

              become.



              With the 2020 election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as President and Vice

              President the nation took another giant step in that direction.

                When President-elect Joe Biden selected Harris as his running mate in August he

              declared at the time, “You make a lot of important decisions as president, but the first
              one is who you select to be your Vice President.”
