President Joe Biden is calling for action to end the type of “hate-fueled violence” that authorities say motivated a white man to fatally shoot three Black people at a Florida store over the weekend.
Jacksonville shooting victim planned to spend Saturday with his daughter. He was killed before he could.
Monday was 60 years since the March on Washington on Aug. 28, 1963, which drew tens of thousands to the nation's capital to advocate for civil rights, justice and freedom. It's where Rev. King delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech at the Lincoln Memorial. In an opinion piece written for the Washington Post, Biden said the administration is working to advance King's dream of a society in which people don't judge others by their skin color.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic 'I have a dream’ speech helped set the tone for the March on Washington and generations to come. News4's Shawn Yancy spoke with Martin Luther King III about whether his father's dream has been realized. But Biden has also struggled to fulfill key promises to Black voters, perhaps the most loyal group in his political base. He kept a promise to put a Black woman — the first to serve — on the Supreme Court, but has been unable to follow through on pledges to shore up voting rights or enact changes to policing to help stop violence against people of color by law enforcement. Legislation on both issues has stalled in a divided Congress.
