President Joe Biden on Saturday told graduates of a leading historically Black university that American history “has not always been a fairy tale” and that “racism has long torn us apart.'
“We know that American history has not always been a fairy tale,” Biden said, describing a constant “push and pull” between the idea that at all people are created equal and “the harsh reality that racism has long torn us apart."
Biden, who recently announced that he is running for a second term in 2024, said he came to Howard to “continue the work to redeem the soul of this nation,” which was a theme of his 2020 campaign.“You're part of the most gifted, tolerant, talented, best-educated generation in American history. That's a fact,” he said.
The passenger, Daniel Penny, 24, a former Marine, surrendered to police on Friday to face a manslaughter charge. He was freed pending trial.

One sign named Jordan Neely, the New York City subway performer who died after he was restrained in a chokehold by another passenger. Biden said the graduates belong to the most gifted, tolerant, talented and best-educated generation in America. He said they feed his optimism for the future.
