Vice President Kamala Harris embraced her biracial identity during her recent trip to Africa, where she visited Ghana, Tanzania, and Zambia. Harris, who has been more comfortable discussing policy than her identity, spoke about her African and Indian heritage and explored her family history in public. However, her visit to her grandfather's former residence in Lusaka was met with disappointment as the house had been torn down. Harris also faced questions about the Biden administration's migration policies, which she has been tasked with addressing.
