"My mother was the first person to tell me that my thoughts and experiences mattered," Harris, 59, wrote in a Mother's Day post on Facebook in 2022. "My mother would often say to me: 'Kamala, You may be the first to do many things. Make sure you are not the last."
"My mother, Shyamala Gopalan, was a scientist who had two goals in life: to cure breast cancer and to raise her two daughters," Harris wrote in the caption of a March 2024 Instagram post. "As @potus signs a new Executive Order to expand and improve research on women's health, I am thinking of her."
"We talked then, continued to talk at a subsequent meeting, and at another, and another," Donald Harris also told The New York Times, recalling how he formed his relationship with Gopalan in 1962.
