ATLANTA (AP) — President Joe Biden will be the commencement speaker at Morehouse College in Georgia, giving the Democrat a key spotlight on one of the nation’s preeminent historically Black campuses but potentially exposing him to uncomfortable protests as he seeks reelection against former President Donald Trump.
The White House confirmed Tuesday that Biden would speak May 19 at the alma mater of civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr., and then address the graduating class at the United States Military Academy at West Point on May 25.
The Morehouse announcement has drawn some backlash among the school’s faculty and supporters who are critical of Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war. That could put the White House and Biden’s reelection campaign in a difficult position as the president works to shore up the racially diverse coalition that propelled him to the Oval Office.

This Summer will be, the Popcorn Summer of 24.
Not Popcorn Summer, Corn Pop Summer!
I would rather enjoy seeing his constituencies chew him up.
Biden will reminisce about how he graduated from Morehouse with a 5.0 GPA and lived with a black family all the years he was there. That family loved Joe so much they adopted him and ever after Joe was known in those parts as the “poor black chile.” His happy times there were torn asunder when he had nightmares that his son, Beau, would be killed in Iraq many years later.
A well known plagiarist speaking at an institution with a well known plagiarist alum. Seems fitting.
Cracks me up think Joetato will say the song was written about him!
Lyrics to "Old Black Joe." The lyrics have a Verse 3 but the Chorale only sings verses 1 and 2 (plus chorus twice).
At YouTube, Linda Easley commented "Funny how a song written more than 160 years ago and reach through time and tug at your heart." No kidding, Linda.
LOL
Biden: Bring it on.
LOL
There won’t be a dry eye in the house.
LOL!
BTTT
It’s weird that people who love to complain about racism around every corner would invite an old white racist into their house and give him a position of honor.
I hope Biden spends his time reminiscing about his adventures with Cornpop and the old Grand Dragon.
LOL!
“Stephen Foster really wrote some good ones!”
He really did!
HE HATES THESE CANS
The highlight comes when Joe goes off-speech and recalls when
he and Nelson Mandela ate a whole watermelon in the WH together.
Joe recalls that was the same day Mandela endorsed Joe
as South Africa’s nationalist Boer party candidate.
