On the day of the inauguration, Jackie Covington kept thinking about her grandparents and wished they could see the first Black and South Asian woman be sworn in as vice president of the United States.
With only a seventh-grade education, Covington’s grandparents taught her the value of hard work and serving her community and were always proud of her accomplishments. She thinks Harris family must feel the same way.
“I got my Ph.D. for my grandparents,” Covington said. “And I thought, as a little girl, did she ever have any idea that one day she would be in the White House? I kept thinking about what she must be thinking to be the first.”
