President Biden drew a direct comparison on Friday between Donald Trump “and his MAGA Republican allies” and the segregationists of the 1950s who opposed the integration of Black and white students in schools.
Addressing Black leaders at the National Museum of African American History and Culture, Biden recounted his meeting with some of the Little Rock Nine, the brave individuals who faced severe hostility to attend Central High School in 1957, three years after the Supreme Court declared school segregation unconstitutional.
