'If Not Now, When?': Black Women Seize Political Spotlight as Biden Choose Kamala Harris as Running Mate

News 18  

The little girl ran up to her, wide-eyed and giddy. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on Tuesday named Kamala Harris as his running mate, making the California senator the first Black woman on a major party's presidential ticket. The milestone comes after years of political work across America, where Black women have been running and winning elections in historic numbers, from Congress to county school boards. In that election, more than 51,000 Black women in Cobb County cast ballots 20,000 more than voted in midterm elections four year earlier. About 70 per cent of eligible Black women voted in 2012 when President Barack Obama, the first Black president, secured a second term.
