WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President\u00a0Joe Biden\u00a0on Saturday told graduates of a\u00a0leading historically Black university\u00a0that American history \u201chas not always been a fairy tale\u201d and that \u201cracism has long torn us apart.\u201d But on the nation\u2019s best days, he said \u201cenough of us have the guts and the heart to stand up for the best in us.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Biden spoke, more than a dozen cap-and-gowned Howard University students stood with their backs to him holding handmade signs in silent protest over what they said were many forms of white supremacist violence.<\/p>\n

In his speech, Biden described the\u00a02017 white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, which he has said helped\u00a0compel him to run for president\u00a0in 2020.<\/p>\n

Hate \u201cnever goes away\u201d and \u201csilence is complicity,\u201d Biden said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that American history has not always been a fairy tale,\u201d Biden said, describing a constant \u201cpush and pull\u201d between the idea that at all people are created equal and \u201cthe harsh reality that racism has long torn us apart.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201dBut on the best days enough of us have the guts and the hearts to stand up for the best in us,\u201d he continued. \u201cTo choose love over hate, unity over disunion, progress over retreat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Biden, who recently announced that he is running for a second term in 2024, said he came to Howard to \u201ccontinue the work to redeem the soul of this nation,\u201d which was a theme of his 2020 campaign.<\/p>\n

He told the graduates they feed his optimism for the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re part of the most gifted, tolerant, talented, best-educated generation in American history. That\u2019s a fact,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd it\u2019s your generation, more than anyone else\u2019s, who will answer the questions for America: Who are we, what do we stand for, what do we believe, what do we want to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was unclear whether Biden was aware that several students had turned their backs as they held handmade signs protesting some of the injustices he mentioned in his speech. One sign named\u00a0Jordan Neely, the New York City subway performer who died May 1 after he was restrained in a chokehold by another passenger.<\/p>\n

The passenger, Daniel Penny, 24, a former Marine, surrendered to police on Friday to face a manslaughter charge. He was freed pending trial.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe as graduates stand united for change, for Black Lives globally,\u201d the students said in a statement. The White House had no comment.<\/p>\n

Biden spoke after he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Letters degree.<\/p>\n

The speech at Howard was the first of two commencement addresses Biden will deliver this year. He is scheduled to address graduates of the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado on June 1.<\/p>\n
