Vice President Kamala Harris is coming to the 2023 NAACP National Convention at the Boston Convention Center this weekend.
The Convention kicked off earlier this week with theme "Thriving
Together.” The Vice President will be the distinguished guest for a
conversation later today.
Organizers are hoping her visit will inspire members to continue
fighting for racial justice across the country for generations to come.
Harris made history as the first Black Woman Vice President to provide a keynote speech at an NAACP Convention last year.
Her remarks focused on the Administration’s support for abortion
rights and tighter gun restrictions, and conveyed a promise to reduce
disproportionately high maternal mortality rates for people of color.
She now joins a list of presidents and vice presidents from
Eisenhower to Carter and Bush to Obama to headline the convention over
the last one hundred and thirteen years.
For this year's convention, there’s a lengthy schedule of discussions, luncheons and other events over the next few days.
