Former Pres. Biden speaks at National Bar Assoc. gala

Former President Joe Biden delivered remarks at the National Bar Association's 100th annual gala in Chicago on Thursday evening. His speech came approximately two months after he publicly disclosed he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. The National Bar Association is the oldest and largest network of African American lawyers, judges and law academics in the country. During his remarks, Biden touted his and his administration's efforts to uplift and better represent the Black community. He called on gala attendees to "lead the charge" in fighting for American constitutional rights, and "chart the course" for the next 100 years of the National Bar Association.
