Viola Davis empowers Harris campaign with heartfelt narration
With the clock ticking down to Election Day, the Harris-Walz campaign has delivered a powerful new message through a heartfelt video narrated by the illustrious Viola Davis.
A tribute to legacy
Titled “Mother,” this 90-second video opens with the Oscar-winning actress recounting the compelling story of Kamala Harris’ mother, Shyamala Gopalan Harris. “Something cracks open inside you when you become a mother,” Davis begins, conveying the profound transformation that motherhood brings. “You realize long after you’re gone, these children will be your legacy.”
Shyamala Gopalan Harris: The cornerstone of strength
As images of Shyamala grace the screen, Davis continues, “This mother came to America at 19 years old. She stood five-feet tall, but she stood tall, becoming a cancer researcher, birthing two daughters – Kamala and Maya. And with them, she birthed her legacy.” Shyamala’s journey from a young immigrant to a respected scientist and mother is a testament to resilience and determination.
Instilling values and inspiring leadership
“She taught them to believe in themselves and to stand up for others,” Davis reflects, painting a vivid picture of the values instilled by Shyamala in her daughters. This upbringing laid the groundwork for Kamala’s illustrious career. From her role as a prosecutor fighting for justice to her tenure as an Attorney General challenging corporations and her current positions as a senator and vice president championing women’s rights, Kamala Harris embodies the principles her mother held dear. In this pivotal moment, Kamala Harris emerges with a renewed vision for moving forward.
A call for generational progress
Accompanied by the stirring anthem of Beyoncé’s “Freedom,” Davis’ narration strikes a chord with its lucid vision for the future. “She says every worker should be able to provide with dignity — that’s your right. Every generation should do better than the last — that’s your legacy. Every American should be able to buy a home, start a business, and save enough to invest. It’s time for a new generation of leadership, one of optimism and a belief in a better future for all Americans.”
Capturing the essence of hope and progress
The video culminates with a poignant declaration: “This daughter of Shyamala, this daughter of the American story, is ready to lead us forward.” This powerful closing statement not only highlights Kamala Harris’ personal and professional journey but also resonates deeply with the overarching theme of continuous progress and generational leadership.
Amplifying the campaign through star power
Adding to the campaign’s momentum, Kamala Harris made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live, sharing the stage with her SNL doppelganger Maya Rudolph. This unexpected moment underscores the campaign’s ability to blend serious political messaging with lighthearted cultural engagement, appealing to a wide audience.
Rallying support with influential voices
The campaign’s efforts to galvanize support don’t stop there. On Monday, Lady Gaga is slated to endorse Harris at a high-profile rally in Philadelphia, joined by an impressive lineup including Oprah Winfrey, Ricky Martin, and Jazmine Sullivan. The megastar ensemble will also feature the Roots, DJ Cassidy, Fat Joe, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and Adam Blackstone. Concurrently, Katy Perry, Andra Day, and D-Nice will energize supporters at a rally in Pittsburgh.
A narrative of unity and empowerment
This campaign video narrated by Viola Davis stands as a heartfelt tribute to the legacy of Shyamala Gopalan Harris and underscores the transformative impact of Kamala Harris’ leadership. Through personal anecdotes and powerful imagery, the video interweaves the past, present, and future, presenting a compelling narrative of unity, resilience, and hope.
