      1/ Howard University is where it all began for Kamala Harris. In her acceptance speech at Wednesday night's Democratic National Convention, she counted her "HBCU brothers and sisters" as her "family." But how do they see her? The latest from @keaux_:https://19thnews.org/2020/08/kamala-harris-sees-hbcus-as-family-how-do-they-see-her/ …

      2/ Harris' ascent to be in contention for one of the highest offices in the land has been something to celebrate. "This is a moment in history that is empowering for women, especially women of color, and it is an opportunity to give our voice to HBCUs producing the best."pic.twitter.com/NFSTBTSGMX

      3/ HBCUs represent just 3 percent of America's colleges and universities, yet nearly one in five Black people with college degrees have one from these schools. Continuing to do more with less, HBCUs persist as academic powerhouses.https://19thnews.org/2020/08/kamala-harris-sees-hbcus-as-family-how-do-they-see-her/ …

      4/ And as @keaux_ writes, HBCU "graduates are provided a bastion of Blackness before bearing the brunt of bigotry lurking beyond the gates of their campuses." There is a bond in a shared legacy of HBCU education.https://19thnews.org/2020/08/kamala-harris-sees-hbcus-as-family-how-do-they-see-her/ …

      5/ For Harris' Alpha Kappa Alpha line sisters (the class of women who joined the sorority together), the bond is even stronger. "Through it all she has been, to us, our line sister Kamala." http://bit.ly/3l1fnHj pic.twitter.com/qBjEGobYKM

      6/ But for Gabrielle Horton, a Black woman from California and fellow HBCU graduate, a shared identity does not mean a shared excitement. She wishes she was having "a feel-good time" with an HBCU graduate potentially heading to the highest office.https://19thnews.org/2020/08/kamala-harris-sees-hbcus-as-family-how-do-they-see-her/ …

      7/ "We have a lot of work to do even with Kamala and Joe in office next year..." Horton describes her feelings as mirroring the reality of being Black in America, holding many things to be true at once — the joy and the trauma.https://19thnews.org/2020/08/kamala-harris-sees-hbcus-as-family-how-do-they-see-her/ …

          8/ For Suzanne Walsh, president of Bennett College, Harris' nomination is an opportunity. "I hope that people do see HBCUs as part of an incredible part of the past and history and also a vibrant springboard for the future — it really is toggling between those two worlds."pic.twitter.com/75ShglHEnU

          9/9 "She's so poised. It's part prosecutor, but a tremendous part of it is Black-girl confidence that comes out of an HBCU."https://19thnews.org/2020/08/kamala-harris-sees-hbcus-as-family-how-do-they-see-her/ …
