Claim: A photo authentically depicts U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris in the 1980s. In November 2020, a local ABC station in Louisville, Kentucky, aired a story about Harris in which journalists interviewed members of Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA), the sorority Harris pledged to while attending Howard University. (Facebook account @WatchTheYard)At the time, Harris did appear physically similar to the subject of the photos. As evidenced by her senior photo from Howard University, her haircut was the same as seen in the photos in question. (Howard University)We reached out to both AKA and Harris' team for comment, but because we are still seeking confirmation from either party, we have rated this claim "Research in Progress."
