Name four aspects of Vice-President Elect Kamala Harris’s Victory Speech 11/07/20 in which she speaks to
what it means to be the first woman, the first black women, the first Asian-American to be a vice president.
Why does she claim this is significant? Do you agree or disagree with what Maggie Astor claims about the
racism and sexism of her critics? Does this remind you of the “double consciousness” of DuBois? Why/not?
Name one way that Harris urges all to overcome the past.
