The Hankyoreh, Kamala Harris, and the Color Purple

20210122 On the 20th (local time), the color Vice President Kamala Harris chose to wear for her inauguration — becoming the first woman and first person of color to hold that office in American history — was purple. Purple symbolizes women's suffrage, and it was also a color that Shirley Chisholm, a pioneer of Black women's political activism in the 1970s, often wore alongside white. #Hankyoreh #KamalaHarris #purple #violet I remember learning in school that mixing red paint and blue paint gives you purple. Purple, born from the combination of the red that represents the Democratic Party and the blue that represents the Republican Party, felt like a fitting choice for a presidential inauguration built around the theme of 'unity.' I hope they truly reflect on the value of unity, and that they also spare some thought for peace around the world. Yogurt in shades of purple, with blueberries and raspberries.
