As students at Atlanta’s HBCUs, we recognize that the struggles of the Black and Palestinian communities are interconnected. Because of this, Joe Biden’s upcoming commencement address at Morehouse College is an incredible slap in the face.
When President Joe Biden gives the commencement speech at Morehouse College this weekend, it might be a short one. Administrators at the historically black college have warned the event will be stopped if there are protests over Gaza.
Faculty members are calling on Morehouse College to rescind its invitation to Joe Biden to speak at its 2024 commencement: “Any college or university that gives its commencement stage to President Biden in this moment is endorsing genocide.”
