Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) on Friday praised the Black Lives Matter movement.

“I actually believe, as a former prosecutor, that Black Lives Matter has been the most significant agent for change within the criminal justice system, because it has been a counterforce to the force within the system that is so grounded in status quo and in its own traditions, many of which have been harmful and have been discriminatory in the way that they’ve been enforced,” Harris, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, told the virtual audience at a National Association for the Advancement of Colored People convention.
