PHILADELPHIA — Vice President Kamala Harris will take questions from three members of the National Association of Black Journalists on Tuesday, six weeks after former President Donald Trump questioned her ethnicity and clashed with a journalist at the organization’s national convention in Chicago.
But it is not an official campaign event, and it is open only to select NABJ members and 100 students from historically Black colleges and universities.
“I didn’t know she was Black until a number of years ago when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black,” Trump said, drawing gasps.
“NABJ does not endorse political candidates as a journalism organization,” NABJ President Ken Lemon said in a statement last week.
The interview with Vice President Harris is designed to inform the public and give our members access to help inform their reporting.
