ATLANTA — President Biden delivered a commencement speech without interruptions or major protests at Morehouse College on Sunday, using the platform to reach out to Black voters at a time when their enthusiasm for him has waned in recent polls.
A handful of students and faculty at the ceremony turned their backs on Biden during his opening speech, a quiet but direct rebuke of the president’s support for Israel’s war in Gaza during a spring that saw protests sweep college campuses across the country.
