Kamala Harris made official her place in history during Wednesday night's DemConvention.
Harris' nomination speech came courtesy of sister Maya Harris, niece Meena Harris and step-daughter Ella Emhoff, who celebrated her as the"world's greatest stepmom" and a"fierce, formidable, phenomenal woman." "We could not be more excited to share you with the world," they said.
She continued,"Without fanfare or recognition, they organized and testified and rallied and marched and fought not just for their vote but for a seat at the table. These women and the generations that followed worked to make democracy and opportunity real in the lives of all of us who followed." "Oh, how I wish she were here tonight," Harris said. "But I know she's looking down on me from above. I keep thinking about that 25-year-old Indian woman, all of 5 feet tall, who gave birth to me at Kaiser hospital in Oakland, California. On that day she probably could have never imagined that I would be standing before you now and speaking these words: I accept your nomination for Vice President of the united States of America.
"None of us are free, until all of us are free. So, we're at an inflection point. The constant chaos leaves adrift. The incompetence makes us feel afraid. The callousness makes us feel alone. It’s a lot. And here’s the thing: We can do better and deserve so much more. We must elect a president who will bring something different, something better and do the important work.
