    Harris graduated from Howard University with degrees in political science and economics in 1986.

    The former California state senator wrote on Instagram on Jan. 15, 2021, that, for her, "Howard is home."

    She explained, "At Howard, you can be a football player and a valedictorian. You can be a budding computer scientist and a poet. You can have a 4.0, intern on Capitol Hill, and still find time to hang out with friends on the weekend."

    Howard was also the first place Harris ran for elected office.

    The vice president wrote of her experience, "Howard taught me that while you will often find that you're the only one in the room who looks like you, or who has had the experiences you've had, you must remember: you are never alone. Your entire Bison family will be in that room with you, cheering you on, as you speak up and speak out. We're with you every step of the way."

It is a public record that was notcreated by an agency which state law has allowed to claim copyright, and is therefore in the public domainin the United States.

    Pursuant to the California Public Records Act (Government Code § 6250 et seq.) "Public records" include "any writing containing information relating to the conduct of the public’s business prepared, owned, used, or retained by any state or local agency regardless of physical form or characteristics." (Cal. Gov't. Code § 6252(e).) notes that "[a]ll public records are subject to disclosure unless the Public Records Act expressly provides otherwise." County of Santa Clara v.

In addition, computer software is not considered a public record, while data and statistics collected (whether collected knowingly or unknowingly) by a government authority whose powers derive from the laws of California are public records (such as license plate reader images) pursuant to EFF & ACLU of Southern California v. Los Angeles Police Department & Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and are not exempt from disclosure and are public records.

    The US has never had a presidential campaign like this one: an incumbent stepping aside, the compressed timeline, the return of a former president – now a convicted felon – as the Republican nominee. There has also never been a candidate like Kamala Harris.

    It has not been a central feature of her campaign, but it is an undeniable feature of her life: in many ways and at many points, Harris has represented the first. As the US prepares to go to the polls, we take a look back at some of the pivotal moments in her life that brought her to this historic moment.

    Born in Oakland, California, Kamala Harris grew up in a diverse community.

    In a family portrait taken in 1972, Harris (centre) stands next to her younger sister, Maya. Her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, is flanked by her parents.
