*Via TheBlackWallStreetTimes – Tonight, Tuesday, February 7, 2023 at 9pm ET, President Joe R. Biden will deliver his second State of the Union speech (SOTU) to the American people. But will Black Americans have their issues addressed?
This morning, The Black Wall Street Times got a sneak peek of what POTUS plans to say regarding some of Black America’s concerns.
“The President will talk about what has been done: how the economy has changed how people have gotten back to work, the support he’s given to HBCUs across the country,” Keisha Lance Bottoms, former mayor of Atlanta and Vice Chair of Civic Engagement for President Biden, shared in a White House call to Black Media.
According to the White House, the Biden-Harris Administration has delivered a historic $5.8 billion cumulative investment in and support for HBCUs.
Bottoms added, “the record number of American judges that have been appointed to the bench, including our Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.” She then added “we talked about marijuana reform, the things that the President has done to make sure that our communities have clean drink water.”

Will Biden address renewed calls for the passage of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act in SOTU?
Mayor Bottoms also mentioned that the President will address Tyre Nichols’ death by five Memphis, Tennessee police officers and the renewed calls for reform, including the need for Congress to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, which failed after Senator Tim Scott, a Black Republican, and his political party killed the bill last September.
Sitting in First Lady Jill Biden’s SOTU box tonight will be Row Vaughn and Rodney Wells, the mother and stepfather of police victim Tyre Nichols.
