President Joe Biden will be making a trip back to the ATL very soon now that it's been announced that he will be delivering this year's Commencement Address at Morehouse College.
David Thomas, President of Morehouse College said this:
I am honored to announce that the 46th President of the United States of America, Joseph R. Biden, will be the commencement speaker for our 140th Commencement ceremony. The invitation to President Biden was extended last September, and we are deeply honored that he has accepted, which marks the third time the White House has formally visited Morehouse within the last two years – a testament to the significance of our institution and our collective commitment to excellence and progress.
We eagerly anticipate welcoming President Biden back to The House next month. His presence serves as a reminder of our institution's enduring legacy and impact, as well as our continued commitment to excellence, progress, and positive change.
Senator Raphael Warnock, who is also a proud Morehouse Alum, said this:
Morehouse is a proud Georgia institution, an incubator for success for young Black men, and a model for colleges nationwide. As a proud alum, I could not be more thrilled and honored to see President Biden return to our great state to deliver this year's commencement address. Since entering the U.S. Senate, I have worked with President Biden to address the high costs of higher education by providing meaningful student debt relief, and so far, his Administration has canceled debt for over 4 million Americans–helping close the racial wealth gap and giving borrowers drowning in debt a pathway toward prosperity. I know the President will have a timely, poignant, forward-looking message for the Men of Morehouse.
Morehouse' Spring Commencement will take place on May 19th.
