Vice President Kamala Harris is saluting her Alpha Kappa Alpha sisters in a new documentary film titled “Twenty Pearls: The Story of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority.”
The documentary — which debuts March 26 on Comcast’s Black Experience on Xfinity channel and will be available nationwide on demand starting March 30 — is narrated by Phylicia Rashād. Both Rashād and Harris pledged the sorority during their time as students at Howard University.
“Twenty Pearls” examines the sorority’s history beginning with its founding by nine Black women enrolled at Howard in 1908 and traces the sorority’s direct influence and involvement in watershed moments throughout history including Civil and Women’s Rights, World War II, NASA, HBCU Endowments and mobilized support for Harris to become America’s first Black and South Asian woman vice president.
