President Biden delivered the commencement address at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, where he appealed to Black voters and called for an "immediate ceasefire" in Gaza. Biden's speech came amid concerns from some students and faculty about his support for Israel's actions against Hamas in Gaza. Biden acknowledged the frustration of young people over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and called for a ceasefire along with the release of Israeli hostages. Some Morehouse graduates protested silently during Biden's speech by displaying a Palestinian flag or turning their backs.
