Florida resident Merissa Green said she was taking the day to "enjoy what our great grandmothers and ancestors never got the chance to see or be." She dressed up in pearls and Converse sneakers to commemorate Harris' inauguration.
Texas resident Janet Galbraith also wore pearls and Converse to honor Harris. “The hard work is not done,” she said.
Denise Henning, a member of the Cherokee Nation and Mississippi Choctaw, looks forward to a day when women of color can assume positions of power without people thinking they are underqualified.
Tiffany Devereux, an entrepreneur in North Carolina, watched the inauguration with her children. She wanted her son to recognize “the stark contrast of all of the historical perspective of all the white men and then having Kamala's picture as the next vice president."
