Karen Bass attended a “homecoming” event hosted by radio host Tavis Smiley and KBLA TALK 1580 AM Saturday at Leimert Park, the day before her swearing in by Vice President Kamala Harris as the 43rd mayor of Los Angeles.
Bass asked the vice president to administer the oath of office as a nod to their status as two of California’s most powerful Black women, according to a Harris aide. Harris was honored to be asked, the aide added.
