This 2007 photo provided by the Kamala Harris campaign shows her with her mother, Shyamala, at a Chinese New Year parade.
Harris’ parents met as doctoral students at the University of California, Berkeley, at the dawn of the 1960s. Her father, a Jamaican named Donald Harris, came to study economics. Her mother studied nutrition and endocrinology. “I was in awe of the knowledge that they seemed to demonstrate,” said Labrie, who grew so close to the family that the senator calls him “Uncle Aubrey.”
“She would take the girls and they would pull out their little backpacks and they would be in that environment,” said McGaffie. As a kindergartner, Stacey Johnson-Batiste remembers Harris coming to her aid when a classroom bully grabbed her craft project and threw it to the floor, which brought retaliation from the boy. He hit the future politician in the head with something that caused enough bleeding to necessitate a hospital visit, cementing for Johnson-Batiste a lifelong friendship with Harris and a view of her as a woman who embodies the ethics of her mother.
“She always talked about her mother,” Dew Steele said. “When she was alive she was a force, and since she’s passed away she’s still a force.” “I knew part of making change was what I’d seen all my life, surrounded by adults shouting and marching and demanding justice from the outside. But I also knew there was an important role on the inside,” she wrote in “The Truths We Hold.”
Gopalan Harris defied generations of tradition by not returning to southern India after getting her doctorate, tossing aside expectations of an arranged marriage. Her daughter portrays her mother’s spirit of activism as being in her blood. Gopalan Harris’ mother took in victims of domestic abuse and educated women about contraception. Her father was active in India’s independence movement and became a diplomat.
At campaign events, Simon would watch Gopalan Harris, always in the front row, always beaming with pride. She saw how both mother and daughter were meticulous about tiny details, how they were hard workers but maintained a sense of joy in the labors, how their laugh would echo in the room.
I think we need to start a movement on Twitter asking the United Nations to supervise our elections. I have tweeted my concerns to them and hope you will too.
_Politics Trump 4 more years
JonLemire Can you imagine what kind of person you are to still support Donald Trump? How many millions of Germans supported Hitler until they didn't. Willfully voting for an authoritarian government because you're too stupid to research anything.
And in your balanced reporting please discuss how her father supports her
That is because her father released a press statement that says he was appalled by her and her statements.
It’s interesting which candidates the mouthpiece of the elite globalist criminals endorse.
🤢🤢🤢🤮
She believes Joe Biden committed sexual assault, doesn’t she?
She must have been one radical leftist too, then
But she dropped her moms indian side and has now taken her dad’s Jamaican side and calls herself African American but used to call herself Indian. I don’t get it.
So proud to be selected for her race and gender. Racists.
Kamala is a horrible choice to an already horrible dem ticket. If the dems could have managed a semi-normal ticket, they would have had a chance to win.
JonLemire The reason this country is the way it is right now is forty years of public school brainwashing of our children with liberal, anti-white, anti American propaganda. They don’t learn anything useful but they sure learn to hate America and mindlessly worship diversity
The Billionaires that have profited so much during this pandemic should fund the Post Office if they want to keep their way of life!!!!!!
Was this written by the DNC
BARF
JonLemire She would be very proud of her daughter
Though more than few decades has passed Concubine Harris ancestors ownership of slaves have shaped how to obtain power on the back of others. NeverBidenHarris Trump2020
