15 Reasons Why Vice President Harris Is Spending Election Night at Howard U

Despite all the ugly debate about whether Vice President Kamala Harris is Black enough, one thing needs to be said: She loves her HBCU! Howard University (HU) is one of the nation’s oldest Historically Black College or University (HBCU), and as a proud Howard graduate herself, Harris never fails to support HU.

Harris has built her career on making history herself, and with just days until the election, she has the opportunity to do it again!
