Harris’s candidacy is a symbol of US progress

Hindustan Times  

On August 22, at around 9pm Central Daylight Time, Kamala Devi Harris will make history when she accepts the Democratic Party’s nomination for president of the United States. However, Biden’s disastrous debate performance against Trump on June 27 led to his announcing his withdrawal from the race and endorsing Harris, his vice president for the past 42 months.Biden’s decision — it marks only the seventh time a US president has opted not to seek re-election — upended the campaign just 104 days before the election. Harris’s emergence eight years later demonstrates the speed at which the political landscape in the US is evolving, especially in terms of gender representation among Democratic Party voters. The late African American poet Maya Angelou wrote in her powerful poem Equality: “We have lived a painful history / we know the shameful past / but I keep on marching forward.” This week in Chicago, all eyes will be on Harris as she prepares to accept the Democratic Party’s nomination.
