It is a historic moment not only for the Black community, but specifically for Black women to witness Harris accomplish this pivotal goal.

The election was finally called on Saturday, Nov. 7, three days after Election Day once officials sorted through mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania. After doing so, it was determined that Biden had 270 Electoral College votes and with that the 77-year will begin the job of trying to pull the country together and heal from within.
