Biden Hosts Brunch Celebrating Black Excellence

During a White House brunch celebrating Black Excellence, President Joe Biden condemned former President Donald Trump's derogatory comments about Haitian immigrants, asserting that such rhetoric has no place in America. Biden emphasized the significance of Black contributions to American history and highlighted his administration's achievements, including the creation of 2.4 million jobs for Black Americans and the lowest Black unemployment rate on record. He humorously remarked on job creation and noted the importance of racial equality in his administration's agenda. The event coincided with the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's annual legislative conference and featured remarks from various Black leaders. Biden also acknowledged Vice President Kamala Harris's potential to become the first female Black president, following his decision to support her candidacy. This event reflects ongoing efforts to address racial equity and honor Black history amid rising tensions surrounding immigration issues.
