President Joe Biden welcomed plaintiffs and family members of the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case to the White House this week to mark the 70th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision that desegregated public schools. The Oval Office visit on Thursday honored the 1954 ruling that struck down institutionalized racial segregation in schools, highlighting Biden's administration's commitment to racial equity.

Biden has been actively engaging with Black voters, conducting Black radio interviews in Atlanta and Milwaukee to promote his administration's achievements in jobs, healthcare, and infrastructure while criticizing former President Donald Trump. The president is scheduled to deliver remarks at the National Museum of African American History and Culture, meet with leaders of historically Black sororities and fraternities, and speak at Morehouse College's commencement and an NAACP gala in Detroit.
