Her parents were civil rights activists
Kamala Harris’ father is Jamaican and her mother is Indian. Her mother. Shyamala Gopalan, emigrated from India in 1960 to attend the University of California, Berkeley, and pursue a doctorate in endocrinology.
It’s important to note that both of her parents were involved in the Civil Rights Movement.
Harris proudly shared on her social media accounts that her parents are why she chose to take to the streets to fight for justice. Her parents laid the path for her and she became the second Black woman ever elected to the United States Senate. That is when Harris began to write history.
Even though the fight for justice continues, Kamala Harris strongly believes change is possible.
When she was just 7 years old, her parents decided to divorce. Harris wrote in her book, “The Truths We Hold” that they didn’t have serious reasons to fight about and never fought about money. The parents took different paths but her father remained a part of their lives. Harris and her sister lived with their mother who shaped them into the women they both became.

where is the part about her family being slave owners?
Kamella is the perfect example and a true hero for Aferican Amerocan women. I am a Jamaican American educated woman. I love the culture I was raised in and I did support her in her quest for the presidency. She is a great example for all women in this cuntry period. I watched her campain and was very happy to support her.
Are you kidding? What a whitewash of Kamala and her Communist behavior. You can spin it any way you wish but she is not close to being competent or ethical and has no qualms stifling Constitutional freedoms as well as celebrating the murder of the unborn. She is the antithesis of caring about her country and its citizens. Having a partially black father and a Caucasian mother from India does not make her black. And yes, Asiatic Indians are Caucasians. Ever her the word Assyrians or see the Nazi symbol? They originate in present day India.
