One last thing I'll add: I spoke to Anwar Karim, a sophomore at Morehouse & a member of AUC SJP, ahead of commencement. He said, “People are not happy that their graduation has been co-opted by the presence of Biden, because at this point, nobody is talking about the graduates."

Reminder: These students never got a HS graduation bc of Covid. And yet, “nobody's talking about their success," he said. "Nobody's talking about how much they had to overcome. The only time people bring up the graduates is as a rebuttal to people who are talking about protests.”
