Sorors throughout the Black Greek system prepare to back Harris



Dawn Beatrice Griffin was excited the evening she put a sign in the front yard at her Atlanta home that said: “Kamala Harris Is My Sorority Sister.” When she opened her bliends the next morning, there were little Black girls in her yard taking pictures.

Griffin realized those girls saw possibilities she had not imagined when she was their age.

Black women are one of the most relaible Democratic voting blocs. Without black women President Barack Obama would not have been re-elected in 2012, when they delivered key battleground states, according to a 2017 AFL-CIO report on black female voters. These women are expected to play a vital role again in the 2020 presidential race, and the network of black sororities and fraternities can play a significant role in persuading that voting block to turn out again. - NBC News
