Kamala Harris spends election night at her former university
Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party candidate in the United States presidential election, is following the results of this election on the campus of Howard University, which is her former university. It is said that this action holds high symbolic significance.
The United States Congress established Howard University two years after the end of the Civil War in 1867. The naming of this university goes back to Oliver Howard, who was a general from the northern regions of America.
He was a supporter of providing higher education opportunities for former slaves. This university in Washington is known as the Black Harvard.
