1:34Now PlayingMelanie Campbell, president and CEO of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation, spoke Monday at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where Kamala Harris will step into the spotlight not as a running mate but at the top of the ticket.
"Vice President Kamala Harris' path to becoming the Democratic nominee for president of the United States has been paid by the leadership, sacrifice, faith and patriotism of generations of Black women, like Dr. Dorothy Irene Height, Diane Nash, Ella Baker, Amelia Boynton Robinson, Barbara Jordan, Shirley Chisholm, and Reverend Willie Barrell," she said.
During the convention, delegates will adopt a party platform, and Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz will formally accept the Democratic nominations for president and vice president.
