When Vice President-elect Kamala Harris takes the oath of office at Wednesday's inauguration, the magnitude of her historic election will be marked not only in her remarks but in the details.

The Vice President-elect will be sworn in by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, another historic female first. Sotomayor is the first Latina Supreme Court Justice....

For the historic day, Harris has chosen to be sworn in using two bibles. One previously belonged to Mrs. Regina Shelton, who was like a second mother to Harris and her sister Maya. The two sisters affectionately called Shelton's home "the house" and would visit daily after school. They became incredibly close to Shelton's daughter and her foster children. Harris has carried the memory of Shelton throughout her life. Harris used Shelton's bible during her swearing in for California Attorney General and the United States Senate.

The second bible belonged to the late civil rights icon and Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, someone who inspired Harris' career path.
