Sen. Kamala Harris鈥檚 historic nomination as Joe Biden鈥檚 pick for vice president is a clear marker of Black women鈥檚 longstanding political influence. Black women have been a backbone in politics for decades, from helping organize campaigns to upholding democratic ideals, to now achieving a spot on a national party鈥檚 ticket.
Host Leoneda Inge talks with Kara Hollingsworth, a partner with the political consulting firm Three Point Strategies, and social justice advocate Omisade Burney-Scott about Harris鈥檚 nomination and the role of Black women in politics.
Leoneda also speaks with NPR White House reporter Ayesha Rascoe about the Trump campaign鈥檚 efforts to appeal to Black voters.
Plus, we hear from Trei Oliver, head coach of the football team at North Carolina Central University, about a fall without football.
