The inauguration Wednesday brought a lot of hope for women and minorities, as Kamala Harris became the first woman and first black and south Asian American to ever hold office.
Now students in the Rio Grande Valley are expressing how much this means to them.
McAllen Residents Jacob Mata and Natalie Glasper said this is a big moment for them, because growing up they faced bullying for being black. I was wearing a du-rag, because I had waves and a teacher insinuates that I m a thug because of it, even though the rest of my outfit was a suit, Mata said.
