Harris joining Quavo in another Atlanta visit next week.
ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - The 100 Black Men of America conference, now underway in Atlanta, got a visit from Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday.
On Friday, Harris participated in a moderated conversation at the organization’s 38th annual conference, being held at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta.
Next week, the first woman and first person of color to hold America’s second-highest office will be back in Atlanta to join GRAMMY-nominated artist and philanthropist Quavo for a conversation at the first-ever Rocket Foundation Summit that is taking place on rapper Takeoff’s birthday. This follows a September conversation at the White House where Harris and Quavo discussed ways to advance commonsense gun safety policies.
Takeoff - real name Kirsnick Khari Ball and who was born in Lawrenceville, Georgia - was the youngest member of the hip hop group Migos along with his uncle, Quavo. On November 1, 2022, Takeoff was shot to death in Houston, Texas.
Harris’ last visit to Atlanta was in late April, when she kicked off the administration’s “Economic Opportunity Tour.”
