We examine the history of African American women in political office.  From the election of Vice President Kamala Harris, to the election of African American women at all levels of government with added perspective from expert and UCF professor Larry J. Walker.  With our guests, we will explore the issues significant to African American voters. We will also discuss the shift/evolution of diversity in government on the federal and state levels and how it impacts policy-making.
