she will be the first woman, the first Black person, the first Indian American and the first Asian American to hold the office. She will also be the first graduate of a historically Black college and first member of a Black sorority to do so."It sends a message about what kind of country we are today," said Manisha Sinha, a professor of American history at the University of Connecticut. "An interracial democracy that represents people, men and women, from all over the globe. I think that's a very good thing for American democracy.

Harris claimed her place in history on Saturday after a close battle for the White House, at the conclusion of which President Trump falsely claimed victory with millions of votes outstanding, and his legal team pursued action amid the close race.

Kamala Harris becoming vice president was a good thing to America. We are living in a modern era and her Vice Presidency shows that. It's about time we get rid of the 1950s mindset of women and allow them to be able to hold power. This will also give girls across the country hope that they too can make it just like Kamala did. Her legacy as the first female vice president to ever hold such power will inspire others and be greatly appreciated by those who are ambitious.
