TO JACKSON, TRAVIS WEAVER.

WE'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM BOTH OF IN A LITTLE BIT AS WELL.

AGAIN, THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF TALK ABOUT KAMALA HARRIS AND HER IDENTITY BOTH AS AN INDIAN-AMERICAN AND A BLACK AMERICAN ART.

JOANNA HERNANDEZ SPOKE WITH SOME CHICAGOANS TO GET FURTHER INSIGHT.

JOANNA.

FROM KAMALA HARRIS PRESIDENTIAL BID HAS ALREADY BEEN A WORLD WIN.

IT'S BEEN JUST OVER A MONTH SAYS JOE BIDEN DROPPED OUT OF THE RACE IN HARRIS WAS CATAPULTED TO THE FOREFRONT IF SHE BEATS DONALD TRUMP IN NOVEMBER, SHE'LL BE THE FIRST WOMAN IN THE OVAL OFFICE IN THE FIRST PERSON WITH JAMAICAN AND STREET AND THE FIRST PERSON OF SOUTH ASIAN DESCENT.

HER HISTORIC CANDIDACY IS NOT LOST ON THE PEOPLE WHO SEE THEMSELVES IN HER.

IT'S NOT SO MUCH THE FACT THAT SHE'S SOUTH ASIAN AMERICAN TO MESSAGE WHAT SHE SIGNIFIES.

SHEREEN AHMED IS A DIRECTOR OF CHICAGO'S SOUTH ASIA INSTITUTE.

SHE HOPES HARRIS CAN PROVIDE GREATER REPRESENTATION FOR THE BROAD COMMUNITY.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE OFTEN SAID IS THEY ASSOCIATE THAT WITH BOLLYWOOD IN BUDGET CHICKEN.

BUT THERE'S SO MUCH MORE TO A SOUTH ASIAN COMMUNITY.

HARRIS IS THE DAUGHTER OF IMMIGRANTS, HER MOM, WHO FROM INDIA IN THE 1950'S WHILE HER FATHER IMMIGRATED FROM JAMAICA IN 1961, TOGETHER, WE WILL BUILD HERES REPRESENTS THE BEST OF US.

SHE REPRESENTS THE SPIRIT OF EXCELLENCE, ONE WHERE WE TAKE PRIDE IN KNOWING THAT SHE IS ONE OF OUR WORLD, LEICESTER BARKLEY IS HONORARY JAMAICAN CONSULATE OF CHICAGO AND SAYS HE'S EXCITED FOR THE PROSPECT OF A PRESIDENT WITH JAMAICAN HERITAGE.

I BELIEVE THAT OUR INSIST A SMILE AND SAY.

GOOD JOB.

PROUD OF YOU.

DID MAKE?

WE ARE THE MAJORITY.

AND SO THE FACT THAT WE ARE NOT REFLECTED IN THE MOST SENIOR POSITIONS OF POWER AND INFLUENCE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ABILITY ASPIRATION OR AMBITION THAT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH ACCESS.

ERIN GALLAGHER STARTED HYPE WOMEN FOR HARRIS SHORTLY AFTER HARRIS BECAME THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE, SHE AMONG OTHERS ARE GALVANIZING WOMEN TO PUT THE FIRST WOMAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE THIS FALL.

I FEEL IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY EVERY DAY TO USE WHATEVER PRIVILEGE AND PLATFORM.

I HAVE 2 PUSH THIS FORWARD AND ALL THE PEOPLE WHO PUSH BACK ON US AND SAY YOU'RE ONLY YOU ONLY WANT THIS BECAUSE SHE'S A WOMAN.

YEAH, WE DO WANT TO BECAUSE SHE'S A WOMAN.

THAT'S THAT'S ONE OF 500 REASONS THAT WE WANT IT.

KAMALA HARRIS WOULD NOT BE WHERE SHE IS.

AND I SHE'S RECOGNIZE DIDN'T EVEN MENTIONED IT WITHOUT STANDING ON SHOULDERS OF PEOPLE LIKE MY GREAT-GRANDMOTHER WHO FOUGHT FOR WOMEN TO HAVE THE RIGHT TO VOTE.

MICHELLE DUSTER IS AN EDUCATOR AND HISTORIAN WHO HAS DIRECT CONNECTION TO A WOMAN WHO ADVANCE THE POLITICAL LANDSCAPE.

HER GREAT GRANDMOTHER IS SUFFRAGIST IN CHICAGO ICON IDA B WELLS DUSTERS SAYS SHE'S PROUD TO BACK THE HARRIS-WALZ.

TAKE IT TO HAVE A WOMAN AND OBVIOUSLY A PERSON COLOR, BOTH IN ONE PERSON TO BE THE NOMINEE IS AMAZING.

AND I HOPE THAT PEOPLE.

REALLY DO UNDERSTAND HOW FAR WE'VE COME AS A COUNTRY AND WHAT IT TOOK FOR KAMALA TO BE WHERE SHE ENTERS.

AND OF COURSE, ALL EYES WILL BE ON HARRISON.

SHE IS SET TO
