“…and that little girl was me.”

Vice President Kamala Harris

Welcome to history, Vice President Kamala Harris.   Welcome to the front pages of our lives.

Bring your smile and your enthusiasm and your approach to life to all in our country–and around the world–and show us the way to civility and honor and equality and justice.

You carry not the weight of little girls and boys in households rich and poor, but rather will be fueled by the buoyancy in their step and the hope in their eyes and the love in their heart.  They sit not on your shoulders as a weight; they walk by your side holding your hand ready to be a part of your every step.   Use their strength and their love wisely as you and President Biden assume the many challenges of your new positions. 

From all of us who work daily to promote equality and diversity and inclusion in all of life, we salute you today.  Our prayers for safety–in your work and in your play–is on our minds and our love and thanks for what you will mean to justice for all is in our hearts.

Dr. King dreamed of a day when “little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.”   

You, Vice President Kamala Harris are his dream come true. 

 
May God be with you every step of the way.  You make us proud and maybe more importantly at this perilous time in our country, you make us smile.
