"Being in Oakland and just being able to see where she’s from, I think is not only inspiring to me, and I’m 50 plus, but inspiring to my daughter, who also wants to be an attorney. Inspiring to all the little girls to know that the person that’s sitting next to you in elementary school may just one day become the president of the United States. And you know what? You don’t have to be perfect to do it."

STORYLINE:
In a scene of pride and jubilation, supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris gathered in her hometown of Oakland to watch and celebrate her acceptance of the Democratic nomination for President of the United States.
The crowd gathered in front of a large screen set up in a restaurant inside the city’s Jack London Square.
Harris, a former California Attorney General and U.S. Senator, has deep roots in Oakland, having grown up in the city and starting her career there.
Local officials and community leaders were at the watch party, sponsored by the local chapter of the NAACP, which urged attendees to volunteer to encourage people to vote, particularly in swing states.
