Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will be making a lot of firsts when she enters the White House in January. She'll be the first Black, Indian, and South Asian to be Vice President--not to mention the first woman.

Harris's niece tweeted on Saturday that her 4-year-old exclaimed, 'BLACK GIRLS ARE WELCOME TO BE PRESIDENT!' Pat Duncan is sixty years older, and is the national co-chair of Black Women For Biden in Colorado. She says Harris is a unifying force for America.

Cape Town (South Africa), Oct 15 (EFE/EPA) - (Camera: Nic Bothma) A crowd of women protested Thursday in Cape Town against the South African city government's land reform strategy. The protesters, led by the organization On Farms, which represents the rights of farm workers and rural women, are challenging Minister Thoko Didiza's latest land reform strategy, which they say excludes the Western Cape and particularly marginalized communities. South Africa's expropriation bill was published this week and will now go before parliament, allowing for the first time the expropriation of property without compensation.
