![["LaDonna Harris, wife of Senator Fred Harris, is a Comanche Indian known for her work in politics and advocacy for American Indians. She is active in mental health, welfare, and Indian affairs meetings, and is not interested in pursuing a political career of her own. She values her Indianness and believes it is a strength, and she and her husband work together to make a difference in Washington. Despite facing challenges and rejection due to her skin color, LaDonna remains dedicated to her work and her husband's political endeavors."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_3_282_19_0000-LaDonna%20Harris,%20Clippings,%20July,%201967-1973/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_3_282_19_0054_thumbnail.jpg "Behind the Scenes with LaDonna Harris: The Comanche Indian Wife of Senator Fred Harris")
