The selection of U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris as the Democratic vice presidential candidate marked a historic milestone, as she was the first woman of color — and only the fourth woman overall — to be part of a major political party’s presidential ticket.
Durham, N. C. — The selection of U. S. Sen. Kamala Harris as the Democratic vice presidential candidate marked a historic milestone, as she was the first woman of color – and only the fourth woman overall – to be part of a major political party’s presidential ticket. For the Triangle’s Indian-American community, it means more doors are opening to future possibilities. «During my childhood, I just never really believed that someone of color could be elected president or vice president,» Morrisville Town Councilman Steve Rao said.
