March is Women’s History Month!
Historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) have produced countless prominent women leaders and trailblazers over time. March is Women’s History Month and there’s no better time to celebrate their contributions. Here are some women pioneers who have impacted history that came from HBCUs!
2Kamala Harris – Howard University
Kamala Harris is a proud graduate of Howard University, having earned her B.A. in political science and economics there. On January 20, 2021, she became the first woman, the first African American woman, the first Indian-American, the first person of Asian-American descent, and the first graduate of an HBCU to be sworn in as the Vice President of the United States of America. As she said in her election acceptance speech, she “may be the first, but [she] will not be the last.”
