Kamala Harris used Essence event to talk politics, tried to explain the meaning of 'Culture'

Vice President Kamala Harris tries explaining what 'culture' means and it doesn't go very well. She said, "culture is — it is a reflection of our moment and our time. Right? And present culture is the way we express how we're feeling about the moment and we should always find times to express how we feel about the moment..."

This appears to have taken place at an event focused on celebrating culture, as it's titled the 'ESSENCE Festival of Culture', as reported on NPR: "Onstage this weekend, there was Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliott, Megan Thee Stallion. And there was Kamala Harris. "Coretta Scott King famously said that the fight for civil rights must be fought and won with each generation. We are that generation she spoke of," said the vice president onstage Friday at the 29th Essence Festival of Culture. "So, fight we must.""

The Democrats website posted this, mentioning how Kamala Harris used the ESSENCE Festival of Culture to talk politics:

Just this past weekend, Vice President Kamala Harris and DNC Chair Jaime Harrison took center stage at Essence Fest to spotlight critical issues, such as reproductive rights, affirmative action, and voting rights to motivate voters ahead of the 2024 presidential election. On Friday, Chair Harrison participated in a panel discussion on the Global Black Economic Forum main stage entitled: “How Voting and Policy Shifts Aid in Building Black Wealth and Power.” Friday night, Vice President Harris delivered the keynote address for the Global Black Economic Forum during a conversation on “Fighting for Reproductive Freedom” with Sunny Hostin and Monica Simpson.

The DNC also partnered with the Congressional Black Caucus PAC, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee to host a booth in the Community Center of the Essence Festival of Culture, where we were able to engage and mobilize thousands of Black voters.
