In a speech that highlighted the importance of historically Black colleges and universities amid ongoing attacks on voting rights, civil rights and democracy itself, President Biden on Friday delivered the keynote address at South Carolina State University’s fall commencement ceremony.Biden was the first sitting president to deliver a commencement address at the school in its 125-year history.
Biden vowed to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, which was passed by the House in August but has been blocked by Republicans in the Senate."But this battle is not over," Biden continued. "We're gonna keep up the fight until we get it done. And you're gonna keep up the fight and we need your help badly."
Biden said there is a "through line" that can be drawn from the 2015 mass shooting at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, S.C., to the deadly clash between white supremacists and counterprotestors in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017, to the deadly Capitol riot on Jan. 6.
I bet it was a roaring powerful focused speech that got thunders applause like the other guy
