Elizabeth Warren Says She Told Schools Of Native American Heritage : The Two-Way : NPR
Democrat Elizabeth Warren, who is in a tight Senate race in Massachusetts against Republican incumbent Scott Brown, acknowledged for the first time that she told the law schools at Harvard and University of Pennsylvania of her Native American heritage.
"As I have confirmed before, I let people know about my Native American heritage in a national directory of law school personnel," Warren said in a statement obtained by the Boston Globe. "At some point after I was hired by them, I also provided that information to the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard. My Native American heritage is part of who I am, I'm proud of it and I have been open about it."
