According to reports, Vice President Kamala Harris, who Democratic leaders are supporting as a potential replacement for President Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential race, is said to be a contributing member of a church where the pastor has advocated for reparations.
She has also served as a vice chair of California’s reparations task force. The pastor of Third Baptist Church of San Francisco, Rev. Amos Brown, proudly mentioned Harris’s affiliation with the church and described her as a “dues-paying member” in an interview with Religion News Service.
This claim is further supported by Harris herself, who has referred to Amos as “my pastor” and emphasized seeking his guidance over the years.
During her speech at the 2022 Annual Session of the National Baptist Convention, USA, Harris expressed her admiration for Brown’s wisdom and credited him with providing support for nearly two decades.
Additionally, it has been reported that Harris worked as Brown’s campaign manager when he ran for reelection to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1999.
Religion News Service reported that following Biden’s formal withdrawal from the race, Harris approached Brown once more and selected her to replace him in the presidential race against former President Donald Trump.
The article stated that Brown even quoted lyrics from the “Black national anthem.”
Brown has a history of holding contentious stances, having previously served as vice chair of California’s Reparations Task Force. His official biography for this role reads:
Amos C. Brown, Th.D., 80, of San Francisco, is a renowned civil rights leader who studied under Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He was later arrested with King at a lunch counter sit-in in 1961 and joined the Freedom Riders who protested segregation in the South. Brown was awarded the Martin Luther King, Jr. Ministerial Award for outstanding leadership and contributions to the Black Church in America and was also inducted into the International Hall of Fame at the King International Chapel at Morehouse College. Brown has been a Pastor at the Third Baptist Church of San Francisco since 1976. He was a Pastor at Pilgrim Baptist Church from 1970 to 1976 and at Saint Paul’s Baptist Church from 1966 to 1970. Brown is President of the San Francisco Branch and a Member of the Board of Directors of the NAACP. He earned a Doctor of Theology degree from United Theological Seminary and a Master of Theology degree from Crozer Theological Seminary. Dr. Brown was appointed to the Reparations Task Force by Governor Gavin Newsom.
It should come to no surprise, then, that Brown’s church also served as the place of meeting for California’s Task Force to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans.
That final report, which was tasked with looking at what it described as the “ongoing and compounding harms experienced by African Americans as a result of slavery and its lingering effects on American society today,” concluded that “160 years after the abolition of slavery, its badges and lingering negative effects of the incidents remain embedded in the political, legal, health, institution of slavery on descendants financial, educational, cultural, environmental, social, and of persons enslaved in the United economic systems of the United States of America.”
“This system of white supremacy is a badge of slavery and continues to be embedded today in numerous American and Californian legal and social systems,” an executive summary of the report reads, ultimately urging the legislature to formulate a “state reparations statute or program.”
Brown seems to support these sentiments, telling Religion News Service that the black community must “respond” to the harm committed by the country “and not react but respond in a responsible, rational, realistic way that will give us results to bring black folks from the bottom of the well economically, academically, healthwise.”
That aside, Brown is support Harris’s presidential endeavors, telling the outlet, “That’s what this nation needs.”
“That’s what this vice president and, hopefully, president, will be elevated to be: To bring this nation out of darkness,” he claimed. “The darkness of incivility. The darkness of lying. The darkness of injustice. The darkness of irresponsible behavior — and that goes at all levels, from the local community up to the national government.”
It’s no surprise that he was one of 350 faith leaders who endorsed Biden and Harris in the last election cycle.
Harris’s pastor’s influence is evident in her political career. As a senator, she fervently pushed for reparations in 2019 and, when launching her presidential bid, expressed support for “some type” of reparations.
“So you are for some type of reparations?” Breakfast Club host Charlamagne tha God asked her during a 2019 interview.
“Yes I am, yes I am,” Harris responded.
That same month, Harris said reparations were needed to help black people heal from “trauma” caused by America’s “dark history.”
In another interview later that year, Harris said it is a complicated situation, adding that she does not believe that writing a check is gonna be enough.”
“I really don’t… And the worst thing that I think could happen is that checks get written and then everybody says ‘ok, stop talking about this now’ without addressing the systemic inequities that are deep and require investment,” she added.
The recent budget deal in June saw California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and legislators allocating $12 million for reparations

There is not one drop of African DNA in Kamel. Her brown skin comes from her mother who is from India and her father is related to the first slave holder in Jamaica in the late 1600s.
Of course there is. All of the dark skinned, no matter what shade, are the result of cross-breeding of the negr0 and caucasian and or asian. God is quite clear in scripture that there are “humans” that are NOT descendants of Adam/Abraham, and warned about crossbreeding.
Could you post some of those “crossbreeding” scriptures? I’ve been looking for them and can’t find them. I do remember reading about how God told his followers not to mix their spotted cattle with non-spotted cattle.
????There isn’t any genetic evidence to prove your post. The people of India don’t have any genes from Africa.
Her ethnic background and gender are irrelevant! What matters is her incompetence.
This says a lot about her objectives and what policies she would implement. Of course her controllers would have a lot of influence on that. So far we have seen her show off her cooking skills, and we have heard her fantasize about how great Biden’s Presidency has been (not) and what she wants us to believe has been accomplished. What we have not heard is what we can expect on the issues of the economy, inflation, domestic energy, border security or anything else of importance if she were to become President.
Kamala Harris has accomplished nothing that she can brag about.Shed was catapulted into the CA Democrat questionable circles via the bedroom of Willie Brown.He was a typical crooked San Francisco Black Democrat ,still is.That’s Kamala’s early career,maybe she feels like the Black rubbed of,because she was Indian and still is.
Any “church” that supports Kamala or those who share her views is APOSTATE! They will all answer to God one day.
it doesn’t surprise me, this “pastor” is a well known black racist lunatic.
Harris is a racist, hates whites and will destroy any class that is not an asset to her. By the way that is a typical thought line of the communist society. She is a member of the communist democrat party. She supports abortion and therefore by association will support the termination of older people and those who have medical conditions that cost too much to take care of.
