The selection of California Sen. Kamala Harris to join the Democratic ticket and then win the nationâs vice presidency gave unprecedented hope to Black women across the nation. Not only had a woman broken a glass ceiling in professional development; she was also Black and a graduate of Howard University, one of the nationâs premier historically Black institutions.
In recent days, however, two other significant nominations by President-Elect Joe Biden signal that the presence of Black women in the new administration is expanding in other ground-breaking roles. If confirmed by the Senate, Cecilia Rouse, a renowned economist, will become the first Black woman to chair the nationâs Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) and Ohioâs Rep. Marcia Fudge, a former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, will become the second Black woman in 40 years to lead the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
