KENT COUNTY, Mich. â Members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., watched along with the world as Kamala Harris was sworn in as Vice President of the United States Wednesday.
The first woman and first Black woman to serve as Vice President is also a member of the very first Black sorority. It was a very, very proud moment as a Black person and an extremely proud moment as a woman of Alpha Kappa Alpha even more so, said Jamie Gordon, president of the Theta Chi Omega chapter in Grand Rapids. It was really, really emotional; it was kind of surreal. I m a 60s baby; I never thought I d see a Black president, let alone a Black female vice president.
