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.
