5:16Now PlayingVice President Kamala Harris spoke about her childhood and her mother Thursday on the final night of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The evening was focused on the future as Kamala Harris formally accepts her party’s nomination for president.
Harris spoke about the community who helped her mother — a single parent — raise her and her sister. She worked long hours, and like many working parents, she leaned on a trusted circle to help raise us, Kamala said of her mother, before listing the names of “aunts” and “uncles.”
“None of them family by blood. And all of them, family by love. Family who taught us how to make gumbo, how to play chess, and sometimes even let us win. Family who loved us.”
Shyamala Harris died in 2009.
Kamala Harris’ speech is her first official chance to offer her vision for the country to voters. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz formally accepted the vice presidential nomination the day before.
