Chapter 1
Early Life and Family
Kamala Devi Harris was born on October 20, 1964, in Oakland, California, to two immigrant parents, Shyamala Gopalan and Donald Harris. Shyamala, a Tamil Indian, arrived in the United States from Chennai (then Madras) in 1958 to pursue her doctoral studies in nutrition and endocrinology at the University of California, Berkeley. Donald Harris, originally from Jamaica, came to the U.S. to further his academic career in economics, eventually becoming a professor at Stanford University.
Growing up in a household rich in cultural diversity, Kamala was exposed to a unique blend of her parents’ backgrounds. Shyamala Gopalan, not only a groundbreaking scientist but also a dedicated advocate for civil rights, imbued her daughters with a strong sense of justice and activism. Her father, Donald, contributed a deep intellectual curiosity and a keen interest in economic issues, drawn from his experiences growing up in a post-colonial Jamaican society.
Kamala's early years in Oakland and Berkeley were marked by the vibrant socio-political climate of the 1960s and 70s. The Harris household was a gathering place for friends and fellow activists, engaging in lively discussions on civil rights, equality, and justice. These formative years played a crucial role in shaping Kamala's worldview. In particular, her mother's involvement in the civil rights movement had a profound impact, exposing her to the struggles and triumphs of the fight for equality from an early age.
