[Details] Democratic Party Harris Vice Presidential Candidate Speech US Presidential Election

[Details] Democratic Party Vice President Harris's speech US Presidential election August 20, 19:24

Kamala Harris, nominated as Democratic vice presidential candidate, addressed the party convention.
I have summarized the points of the nomination acceptance speech that talked about my feelings for my mother from India to the United States, the issue of racism, respect for Mr. Biden, etc.

Thanks to my mother

Being here tonight is a testament to the dedication of my previous generations who have believed in the promise of equality, freedom and justice for all.

This week is the 100th anniversary of the establishment of Article 19 of the constitutional amendment (which recognizes women's right to vote). In fact, many black women who supported the victory were banned from voting even after it was established. But they, and the women of subsequent generations, have worked to set up organizations, hold meetings, and realize democracy and equitable opportunities in our lives that follow.

They paved the way for the pioneering leadership of former President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Much has not been taught about them, but as Americans we model them.

And there's another woman whose name is unknown and whose story isn't shared, but which I'm following. It's my mother, Shamala Gopalan Harris. My mother came to the United States from India at the age of 19 in pursuit of her dream of curing cancer and met my father, Donald Harris, at the University of California, Berkeley. The two fell in love in the most American way while marching together for justice in the civil rights movement of the 1960s.

When I was five, my parents parted and my mother raised us almost alone. Like many other mothers, she works 24 hours a day, packing lunches before we wake up, counting after bed, helping with homework at the kitchen table, choir singing. They even sent me to the church for practice. It looked very easy, but I know it wasn't.

My mother instilled my sister Maya and me with life-changing values. My mother raised us into a proud and strong black woman. I learned about the tradition as an Indian and raised me proudly. He also taught me to consider my family first. About the family you were born with and the family you chose.

With my family, my husband Doug, a beautiful child, my sister, my best friend, my niece, my nameless children, my uncle, my aunt, my second mother who took care of me 2 years ago, my colleague at university. These are the friends I relied on when my mother, the most important person in my life, died of cancer.

Taught us that the fight for justice is a shared responsibility

My mother also encouraged us to see a world we didn't know. He taught us to have a compassionate mind, conscious of the struggle of all people.

He taught us that public service is a sublime cause and that the fight for justice is a shared responsibility. It led me to a lawyer, a district prosecutor, the attorney general, and a senator. And step by step, guided by the words "Kamala Harris is for the people" that I spoke to when I first came to court, I fought for children and people who survived sexual violence.

My mother taught me that service to others gives us purpose and meaning in life. I wish my mother was here tonight, but I think she is watching over me from heaven.

I couldn't even imagine my 25-year-old Indian mother giving birth to me at a hospital in Oakland, California, speaking to you today. Accept the nomination for Vice Presidential Candidate.

I do not depend on things in front of me, but act on the values ​​taught by my mother to walk on a creed. And the vision that has been passed down for generations in the United States, shared by Mr. Biden, swears to act according to the vision of acceptance regardless of appearance, origin, who is in love ..

I have to overcome racism

The lack of leadership of Donald Trump is now at the cost of our lives and lives.

The people are now in deep sorrow. They have lost precious lives, opportunities, peace of mind, and no prospects for the future. This virus does not attack us equally. Those who suffer and die are biased towards blacks, Latinos and indigenous peoples.

This is not just a coincidence. This is a result of structural discrimination in education, social security, employment, police enforcement, judicial justice, and childbirth opportunities.

The virus has no "eyes", but it does tell how this society perceives each other and how they treat each other.

Only this will be clarified. There is no vaccine that works against racial discrimination. You cannot overcome it unless you work together to overcome it. Let's work together to achieve equality under the law for George Floyd, Briona Taylor and countless victims, and for our children and us. .. Only when equality under the law is realized will everyone truly be free.

We are at a critical turning point

We are now at a critical turning point. Many people are wandering by this constant chaos. I feel anxious about this incompetence. And I feel like I'm being overwhelmed by that insensitivity. There are already many.

But please remember. We should be able to do more, and we are eligible for better results. We need to let the president win someone who does something different and better, and who does the important work.

And we need a president who brings together blacks, whites, Latinos, Asians, and indigenous peoples to realize the future everyone wants. We have to get Joe Biden to win.

Joe Biden as father and leader

I first knew Joe as a friend's father. Joe's son Bo Biden and I were Attorneys Generals of Delaware and California, respectively. During the Great Recession, we talked to the phone almost every day and worked together for homeowners to get back billions of dollars from the big banks that seized their homes. And Bo and I talked about the family.

As a father, Joe traveled from Wilmington to Washington by train for four hours every day. Bo and his brother Hunter began eating breakfast with their father every morning. The brothers fell asleep every night in the voice of their father reading the story at the bedside. The two little boys knew they were always deeply and unconditionally loved by their fathers, enduring unspeakable losses (who lost their mother).

I was also moved by the achievements of Joe. He is the leader who has enacted legislation on violence against women and has enacted laws that regulate guns. As Vice President, he is the leader who has enforced the law and restored our country from the Great Depression. He defended Obama Care and protected millions of Americans. A person who spent decades communicating the values ​​and interests of America to the world, stood up with his allies, and confronted the enemy.

Joe Biden as President

Now there is a president who uses our tragedy as a political weapon.

Joe will be the President who turns our challenges into goals. Joe brings us together to build an economy in which no one is left behind. Joe will unite us to end this pandemic and to prepare for the next outbreak. Joe goes straight to racial injustice and unites us to eliminate it.

Joe and I believe we can build a strong, generous, fair and kind community. That is the vision our parents and grandparents have been fighting for.

We believe we will all unite for a better future. This is exactly the case with doctors and nurses, home healthcare workers, and front-line workers who risk their lives to save those they have never met. Teachers, truck drivers, factory workers and farmers, people in the shipping business, and poll staff are all at risk to personal safety to help us survive this pandemic. ..

This election has the opportunity to change the course of history. We are all in the middle of this battle. Let's fight with conviction. Let's fight with hope. Be confident in yourself, help each other and fight. For our beloved America.
