You ready to go to work?

Oh my God, I'm so ready to go to work.

Kamala Harris is ready to get to work.

My mother knew that she was raising two black daughters who would be treated differently

because of how they looked.

Growing up, whenever I got upset about something, my mother would look me in the eye and ask,

so what are you going to do about it?

As Joe Biden v. P. Pick, she'll be the first black woman to appear on the presidential

ticket for a major political party.

And if the Biden Harris ticket wins this fall, Harris will be the country's first female

vice president, putting her closer to the Oval Office than any other woman in history.

She'll stand on the shoulders of the women who came before her, people like Shirley Chizum.

I spend before you today as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for the presidency

of the United States of America.

And build on the legacy of women like Hillary Clinton.

Although we weren't able to shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling this time, thanks

to you, it's got about 18 million cracks in it.

Harris's nomination comes the same year that the country is commemorating the 100th anniversary

of the 19th Amendment, which prohibited voting discrimination based on sex.

The irony here though is that Kamala Harris wouldn't have really been part of that victory.

I'm Tremay Lee and this is Into America.

Tuesday marks 100 years since the ratification of the 19th Amendment.
