Biden, Harris Lament Racist Shooting in Jacksonville, Florida

Bloomberg Quicktake published this video item, entitled “Biden, Harris Lament Racist Shooting in Jacksonville, Florida” – below is their description.

President Joe Biden lamented the racist shooting in Jacksonville, Florida, as he met with civil-rights leaders, including the relatives of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., calling it a critical time for the US and urging Americans to speak out against hate crimes.

“We can’t let hate prevail,” Biden said at a White House meeting Monday with Vice President Kamala Harris, joined by civil rights leaders who were marking the 60th anniversary of the landmark March on Washington. “Silence is complicity. We’re not going to remain silent.”

The meeting was intended to commemorate Monday’s anniversary of the march. On Saturday, thousands of people gathered at the Lincoln Memorial, hearing speeches from King’s son, Martin Luther King III, granddaughter Yolanda Renee King, and veteran civil-rights leader Al Sharpton.
