42 years ago, Kamala Harris arrived at Howard University as a freshman and was immediately drawn to the area of campus known as the Yard. This space became her favorite place to hang out, where she could observe the diverse student body engaging in various activities.
In her memoir, Harris reflected on the Yard as a vibrant hub where students from different backgrounds came together. She described scenes of students laughing, engaging in deep discussions, and participating in a range of activities that showcased the diversity of the student body.
