VP Kamala Harris Makes History with First West Point Commencement Speech by a Woman

Vice President Kamala Harris delivered the commencement speech at West Point, becoming the first woman to do so. She praised the graduating cadets for their service but warned them of the "unsettled world" they were entering due to Russian aggression and the rising threats from China. Harris also touched on the importance of diversity in institutions, making the comment at an institution that has made slow progress diversifying its ranks. The cadets will be commissioned as Army second lieutenants upon graduation.
