Before leaving town Friday, Vice President Kamala Harris got a cup of coffee in downtown Cincinnati – ending her visit by declaring "Wakanda forever!"
The staff at blaCk Coffee Lounge gave Harris an enthusiastic greeting. Harris was just as enthusiastic to be at the Black-owned coffee shop a block away from Cincinnati City Hall.
"I've been reading about you, all the work you guys have been doing," Harris said to the two employees behind the bar.
Coffee shop manager Tsehai Henry took Harris' order: a "Wakanda" coffee. Mayor John Cranley, who accompanied Harris to the coffee shop, also ordered a Wakanda, which is one of the shop's specialty blends. The total came to $7.50.
