'She Believed in America': Kamala Harris Remembers Mother While Honouring Women's Contribution to US
News 18Kamala Harris has become a household name in the world today. The woman who strode on to the pages of history as the first woman, African-American and also the first woman of Indian-origin to take on the mantle of America?s vice president, has inspired millions of women across the world, diverse women from all backgrounds to aspire and win in life, just like she herself did. Harris, who addressed Americans after the win in a white suit in honor of the women?s suffragist movement, also remembered her Indian mother on a night which was special, in more ways than one. "All the women who have worked to secure and protect the right to vote for over a century I stand on their shoulders," Vice President-elect Kamala Harris says. While concluding her speech on Saturday, Harris said her victory was just a beginning for women to hold important positions of power in US history.
