All About Kamala Harris' Mother, Who Grew Up In India And Moved To US
Kamala Harris Mother: Kamala Harris accepted the Democratic presidential nomination in Chicago today and remembered her Indian-origin mother Shyamala Gopalan Harris before a rapturous crowd.
Taking center stage on the last day of the Democratic Party convention, she said her mother was only 19 when she crossed the world alone, travelling from India to California with an "unshakeable dream to be the scientist who would cure breast cancer".
"My mother Shyamala Harris had one of her own. I miss her every day -- especially now. And I know she's looking down tonight, and smiling," she told the gathering in Chicago.
