Putting Kamala Harris as VP into perspective

Putting Kamala Harris as VP into perspective.See the red box? Until then, she would have been enslaved.
See the blue box? Until then, she couldn’t vote.
Yellow box? Until then, she had to attend a segregated school.
The green one? Until then she couldn’t have her own bank account
