Biden commemorates Brown v. Board of Education anniversary as Black voter support shows signs of decline

Reading Time: < 1 minute

President Joe Biden commemorated the 70th anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education decision by welcoming plaintiffs and family members to the White House. The landmark case, which desegregated schools, holds significant historical importance in the fight for racial equity.

During the Oval Office visit, Biden engaged in conversations honoring the plaintiffs and discussing the ongoing battle to improve education in Black communities. The participants, including Brown plaintiff John Stokes and Cheryl Brown Henderson, daughter of lead plaintiff Oliver Brown, emphasized the courage it took to challenge the status quo of racial segregation.

Biden’s efforts to highlight his administration’s commitment to racial equity come as he faces a tough reelection battle in November. Despite some disappointment among Black voters, NAACP President Derrick Johnson remains optimistic about Biden’s support within the community.

The president’s upcoming engagements at Morehouse College and the NAACP gala demonstrate his dedication to connecting with Black voters and addressing their concerns. Biden’s acceptance of an invitation to deliver the Morehouse graduation address sparked protests over his handling of international conflicts, prompting a senior adviser to meet with students and faculty.

As the nation reflects on the legacy of the Brown decision, Biden’s outreach to the plaintiffs and their families serves as a reminder of the ongoing fight for equality and justice. The president’s commitment to honoring their sacrifices and advocating for progress in education underscores the importance of continuing the work started 70 years ago.
