Rituals are a part of human life. They give us comfort and help us mark major events in our life-cycle, from births and graduations to marriages and death. And they are also a part of our regular routines — even something as ordinary as going for a haircut or movie night.

Harris is the first vice president to be an alum of a historically Black college, and if she wins, would make history as the first president to be an HBCU graduate.
