"Biden's Return to South Carolina: A Political Pulpit and Presidential Visit"

President Joe Biden will become the first sitting president to speak at Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston, S.C., a historic site that has hosted political speeches from prominent figures like Booker T. Washington and Martin Luther King Jr. Biden's visit aims to address threats to American democracy, particularly hate-fueled violence, and to re-energize his African American voter base. The church, known for its role in Black resistance and forgiveness after a racist massacre in 2015, remains a symbol of racial violence and resilience. Biden's visit underscores the ongoing work needed to combat 19th century mindsets in America and to honor the victims and survivors of the tragic event.
