"Kamala Harris Accepts Vice President Nomination"

Question

by Kamala Harris
My mother taught me that service to others gives life purpose and meaning.
And oh, now I wish she were here tonight but I know she's looking down on me from above. 1 keep thinking about that 25-year-old Indian woman-all of five feet tall-who gave birth to me at Kaiser Hospital in Oakland, California.
On that day, she probably could have never imagined that I would be standing before you now speaking these words: I accept your nomination for Vice President of the United States of America.
I do so, committed to the values she taught me. To the Word that teaches me to walk by faith, and not by sight. And to a vision passed on through generations of Americans-one that Joe Biden shares. A vision of our nation as a Beloved Community-where all are welcome, no matter what we look like, where we come from. or who we love
A country where we may not agree on every detail, but we are united by the fundamental belief that every human being is of infinite worth, deserving of compassion, dignity and respect
A country where we look out for one another, where we rise and fall as one where we face our challenges, and celebrate our triumphs-together.
