"Black history is American history," Biden says as he launches fresh voter appeal

WASHINGTON, May 17 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden launched a fresh bid to bolster support from African-American voters on Friday, looking to seal up cracks in the Democratic coalition that carried him to victory over Republican Donald Trump in 2020.

Biden visited the popular African-American museum in downtown Washington and greeted his audience by declaring, "Black history is American history." He and Vice President Kamala Harris later will meet privately at the White House with the Divine Nine, a group of historically Black sororities and fraternities.

Biden met on Thursday with families who had relatives involved in the Supreme Court's landmark May 17, 1954, Brown v. Board of Education ruling 70 years ago that led to the desegregation of schools. "We learn better when we learn together," Biden said at the museum.

All this is leading up to Biden's commencement speech on Sunday at Morehouse College in Atlanta, a historically Black school that was the alma mater of slain civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr.

Hell media, it might actually be true that "Black History is American History", but it does bring up an important question.

Why do you constantly assign ulterior motives to everything Democrats do, or say, but SIMPLY SERVE AS STENOGRAPHERS FOR THE RETRUMPLICANS?

Did Donnie Dipshit simply "meet with billionaires", or did he solicit a bribe?

Asking because I haven't seen the headline; "Donnie Dipshit asks for a billion dollars in bribe money from oil executives as he launches fresh bribery appeal"
