VP Harris to Make History as First Woman Commencement Speaker at West Point

Vice President Kamala Harris will become the first woman to deliver a commencement address at the U.S. Military Academy, where about one quarter of the student body are women. Harris plans to make the case that a strong U.S. military is vital to world security and applaud the graduating cadets for their noble sacrifice in serving their country. The academy didn’t admit women until 1976 and had its first female graduates in 1980.
