President Joe Biden will give the commencement speech at Howard University during its graduation ceremony later this month, White House officials confirmed Saturday.
Biden is the first sitting president to give Howard’s commencement since former President Barrack Obama in 2016.
According to a White House spokesperson, Biden’s 2024 campaign will be focused on policies aimed at helping historically black colleges or universities (HBCU).
From The Daily Caller:
Howard University partnered with the Department of Defense (DOD) in January to lead a research center and will receive $12 million annually for five years to fund research, faculty and students, CNN reported. The partnership is the first between an HBCU and the DOD. Biden is also slated to travel to Colorado on June 1 to deliver the commencement speech at the United States Air Force Academy, the White House confirmed.
