US President Joe Biden Engages Black Voters: Meetings, Speeches, and a Visit to Morehouse College Amidst Polling Concerns
US President Joe Biden is reaching out to Black voters to regain their support, as some polls indicate they are leaving the Democratic Party ahead of the midterm elections.
To show his commitment, Biden marked the 70th anniversary of the landmark Brown v.
Board of Education Supreme Court ruling, which ended racial segregation in schools, by meeting with key figures from the case in the Oval Office.
These included Adrienne Jennings Bennett, one of the plaintiffs, and Cheryl Brown Henderson, a daughter of another plaintiff.
Biden acknowledged the risks these individuals took during the 1940s and 1950s to challenge racial discrimination.
On Friday, President Joe Biden will visit the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington to commemorate the anniversary of the Brown v.
Board of Education decision.
Later, he and Vice President Kamala Harris, the first Black, South Asian, and female vice president, will meet with leaders from nine historically Black sororities and fraternities.
Biden aims to honor those who paved the way for progress and Black Americans' rights, and to share his vision for continuing this work.
Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, the first Black person in the role, made these statements.
On Sunday, Biden will speak at historically Black Morehouse College in Atlanta, whose most renowned alumnus is civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. Biden displays a King bust in the Oval Office as a symbol of his commitment to racial equality and contrasts it with what he perceives as racially insensitive and anti-immigrant language from his rival, Donald Trump.
President Joe Biden's visit to Morehouse College for their commencement ceremony is politically sensitive due to ongoing protests against his support for Israel's war in Gaza.
Some students and faculty at Morehouse have objected to Biden delivering the address.
The objections come as Biden trails Trump in several key battleground states and is losing ground with African American voters, who traditionally vote Democratic.
Trump is currently polling at over 20% support among Black voters, which would be the highest level for a Republican presidential candidate since the Civil Rights Act was enacted in 1964.
However, the president of the NAACP, Derrick Johnson, disputes the notion that there has been a significant erosion of support among Black voters and argues that polls have been inaccurate in recent elections.
The speaker expresses the importance of high-level participation for America to remain a leading democracy.
In the 2020 election, Black voters strongly favored the Democratic Party, with 92% voting for Biden and only 8% for Trump, as reported by the Pew Research Center.
