HAMPTON, Va. — Vice President Kamala Harris is coming to Hampton University on Sept. 14.
The Vice President is coming to the university as part of the "Fight for Our Freedoms College Tour," according to a White House press release. The tour focuses on issues that disproportionately impact young people across the country: reproductive freedom, gun safety, climate action, voting rights, LGBTQ+ equality and book bans.
The White House said that the Vice President will visit historically Black colleges and universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, community colleges, apprenticeship programs, and state schools.
