On Saturday, Vice President Kamala Harris wrapped up a week-long trip to Africa.
It was a historic visit as the first Black female vice president to visit the continent to which she has a family connection.
But, there are also strategic foreign policy goals at play and, some say, a chance for Harris to enhance her connection to Black Americans, a key voting block needed for President Joe Biden and Harris to hold the White House in 2024.
L.A. Times reporter Courtney Subramanian traveled with Harris and shares details.
