Birmingham friends of Kamala Harris proud of historic moment By Steve Crocker | January 23, 2021 at 5:28 PM CST - Updated January 23 at 5:28 PM
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC) - Among those watching the historic inauguration of the nationâs first woman Vice-President this week were two longtime Birmingham friends.
Majella Chube Hamilton and Herschell Hamilton met Kamala Harris in the mid-80s when they were students at Howard University in Washington D.C.
Majella was president of the campus chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated when Harris was initiated into the sorority.
The Hamiltons say as is often the case at historically black colleges and universities, they, Harris, and others on campus developed a strong bond that has lasted for decades.
