Kamala Harris Speaks in Indianapolis on Wednesday
Earlier today, Vice President Kamala Harris spoke at the historically Black sorority Zeta Phi Beta in Indianapolis.
The speech follows President Joe Biden’s decision over the weekend ending his bid for a second term.
The vice president spoke directly to the sorority – commending its history as one of the “Divine Nine” – a collection of nine historically Black fraternities and sororities who were influential in the American Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 60s.
On Monday, all 88 of Indiana’s delegates to the national convention endorsed Harris for president in addition to the state’s central committee. On Tuesday, the Monroe County Democratic Party also endorsed Harris for President.
Feature Report:
In today’s feature report, Bring It On! hosts, Clarence Boone and Gloria Howell, discuss the possible ramifications of Joseph Biden’s decision to withdraw from the presidential race and his endorsement of his current Vice-President, Kamala Harris, to replace him in the U.S. presidential race.
If successful, Kamala Harris would become the first woman and first woman of color to become the President of the United States. We now turn to that segment from Bring It On – Indiana’s only weekly radio program committed to exploring the people, issues and events impacting the African-American community on WFHB.
Up next, “Winners and Losers” on Better Beware – your weekly consumer watchdog segment airing each Wednesday on the WFHB Local News. For more, we turn to host and producer Richard Fish.
