President Joe Biden is set to deliver the commencement address at Morehouse College in Georgia, a historically Black institution known for its association with civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. The White House confirmed Biden's appearance on May 19, where he will address the graduating class at one of the nation's preeminent historically Black campuses.
The announcement of Biden's speech has sparked controversy among some faculty and supporters of Morehouse College. Criticism has arisen over Biden's handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict, with concerns that his approach may not align with the values of the institution. Despite backlash, the college has affirmed its decision to host the president.
