'Silence Is Complicity', Biden Urges Americans To 'Speak Up' When History Being Erased, Books Banned
Washington D.C./29.08.23/Turan: U.S. President Joe Biden on Monday urged Americans to “speak up when history is being erased and books being banned” and called civil rights “the unfinished fight of the 21st century," TURAN's Washington correspondent reports.
In a celebration at the White House commemorating 60 years since the March on Washington for Freedom, President Biden warned that “hate never dies, it just hides.”
He went on to add, “All of us need to say… hate will not prevail.”
Biden boasted about the number of women in his administration and among his judicial appointees and closed quoting late Congressman John Lewis: “Keep pushing, keep going, set the record straight.”
He also told the civil rights leaders and lawyers that “what you do matters so much.” He likened “racist violence today” to cross burnings, calling white supremacy “a poison” and “the greatest threat” to the nation.
