Biden Addresses Protests Over Gaza War at Morehouse College Graduation
ai generated text
US President Joe Biden has been addressing concerns over his support for Israel during the war in Gaza. He delivered a graduation speech at Morehouse College, a historically Black institution attended by Martin Luther King Jr., where students wore keffiyeh scarfs symbolizing protest. In his address, Biden reiterated his call for a temporary ceasefire in Gaza and acknowledged the humanitarian crisis unfolding there. He also expressed support for peaceful nonviolent protest, assuring graduates that their voices are being heard.
Its most famous alumnus is Dr Martin Luther King, who of course talked about how there should be equality throughout the world and how it was important that politicians did always what was right, rather than what brought them votes.
Leadership is about fighting through the most intractable problem. It's about channeling anger, frustration and heartbreak to find a solution. It's about doing what you believe is right, even when it's hard and lonely.
It's one of the hardest, most complicated problems in the world.
Your voices should be heard, and I promise you I hear them.
The trail of broken promises that still leave Black communities behind. What is democracy? If you have to be 10 times better than anyone else to get a fair shot.
It is my stance as a Morehouse man, nay as a human being, to call for an immediate and permanent cease-fire in the Gaza Strip.
There's nothing easy about it. I know it angers and frustrates many of you, including my family. But most of all I know it breaks your heart. It breaks mine as well.
