The US president called on Americans to fight racism and extremism
US President Joe Biden called on Americans to fight racism and extremism during a White House summit focused on fighting hate-fueled violence.
“White supremacists will not have the last word,” Biden said.
The event, titled the United We Stand Summit, brings together experts and survivors and includes local leaders from both Republican and Democratic parties.
It also seeks to honor communities that have suffered hate-based attacks, including mass shootings at a gay nightclub in Orlando in 2016 and at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York earlier this year, where ten black men were shot and killed by a avowed champion of the white race.
Biden was introduced by Susan Brough, mother of Heather Hager, who was killed during a white nationalist rally in August 2017 in Charlottesville, Virginia. Democrat Joe Biden has said that this fact convinced him to run for president.
“Her murder resonated around the world, but the hatred didn’t start or end there,” Brough said.
