"When she accepts her party's presidential nomination on Thursday, Kamala Harris will become, among other historic firsts, the first Black woman and the first person of Asian descent to secure a major party's nomination."
"Harris is also the first nominee of either major party to graduate from a historically Black college or university (HBCU). As a proud alumna of Howard University, Harris is one in a long line of the school's graduates to become a leader within the African American community and in the nation as a whole."
"Howard's commitment to nurturing community leaders helped attract Harris to the school. Although its importance as an institution that produces civic leaders has often been overlooked outside of the African American community, some of the most eminent Americans graduated from Howard."
"The school's story is a reminder that while the history books do not always reflect it, civic leadership in the U.S. has always been multiracial."
