He reiterated that the United States is enduring “a battle for the soul of the nation,” and discussed “the poison of white supremacy,” political extremism, and attacks on democracy as key issues. The president later remarked that the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol was the first time in U.S. history that an attempt was made to stop the peaceful transfer of power, but that the attempt failed, and he and Vice President Kamala Harris were accompanied by the Howard University marching band on his inauguration day, just weeks later. Ms. Harris is the first female and first Black vice president, and a graduate of Howard, a historically Black university. Before the speech, President Biden was bestowed with an honorary Doctor of Letters degree from the university’s president, Wayne A.I. Frederick.
