Black clergy and scholars highlight Kamala Harris's religious faith's fusion of traditions such as the Black Church, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Indian heritage, and Judaism, influencing her social justice values.
Significance of Harris's candidacy lies in being the first female president, a Black American with South Asian roots, symbolically connecting her two cultures intrinsically.
Nonviolent resistance, Mahatma Gandhi's influence, and connections between American Black preachers and civil rights leaders are highlighted as part of Kamala Harris's cultural heritage.
Harris's family background includes a grandmother who was a community organizer and a grandfather, P.V. Gopalan, who was deeply involved in Indian civil service.
