Tonight s COVID Memorial Heralds Hopeful Change, and Wardrobe Choices Speak Volumes Yolanda Adams performed Leonard Cohen.
Tonight, on the eve of possibly Americaâs most historic inauguration, four hundred lights s the reflecting pool of the Lincoln Memorial to honour the four hundred thousand plus Americans lost to the pandemic so far. President-elect Joe Biden and Dr. Jill Biden stood alongside Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff in quiet reflection.
Â
âTo heal we must rememberâ said Biden, âitâs important to do that as a nation⦠between sundown and dusk, let us shine the lights in the darkness along the sacred pool of reflection and remember who we lost.â Following a moment of silence, American gospel singer Yolanda Adams performed an emotive rendition of Leonard Cohenâs âHallelujahâ.
The new documentary Kamala Harris: To Be The First details her journey of hope from Berkeley to Washington, where she will soon begin a new chapter as the first Black and Asian woman elected vice president of the United States.
Harris, who runs Phenomenal, a woman-powered lifestyle brand, was sporting a sweatshirt during the interview that said AMBITIOUS. The message is I m not hiding it and I m not going to allow anyone to tell me who I am or how ambitious I can be, Harris explained. Part of it, too, is recognizing it. That this is a culture, a harmful culture that we have in our society and a perspective of women with power.

As I assume my duties as Vice President of the United States, I would like to thank the people of California for the honor of serving them in the U.S. Senate over the past four years.
My mother's life – like that of so many Black immigrants in the United States – was made better by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and other brave souls who were willing to put their lives on the line for freedom, justice, equity and a more representative democracy.
