From the U.S. Vice President, the New York Times bestseller about the core truths that unite us and the shared values that will see us into the future.
Kamala D. Harris is the first woman and woman of colour to be
elected vice president, a lifelong public safety and civil rights
leader, who served until recently as a U.S. Senator from
California. She began her career in the Alameda County District
Attorney's Office, then was elected District Attorney of San
Francisco. As California's Attorney General, she prosecuted
transnational gangs, big banks, Big Oil, for-profit colleges and
fought against attacks on the Affordable Care Act. Harris also
fought to reduce elementary school truancy and pioneered the
nation's first open data initiative to expose racial disparities in
the criminal justice system and implemented implicit bias training
for police officers.
The second black woman ever elected to the U.S. Senate, Kamala
Harris has worked to reform the American criminal justice system,
raise the minimum wage, make higher education tuition free for the
majority of Americans, and protect the legal rights of refugees and
immigrants.
A fascinating insight into a remarkable career
