I did not realize that President Biden was touring Charleston, South Carolina during his last day in office.
Biden Addresses Crowd at International African American Museum in Charleston, Post and Courier (January 19, 2025):
An audience of about 300 people patiently waited for Biden to take the stage set up below the IAAM. The Voices of Liberation, a community choir with members throughout the country, lined the steps up to the museum. Dressed in Gullah Geechee wear, they stood on risers behind a podium, singing songs of praise as people found their seats. A few notable attendees sat among the crowd, including Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. The White House also invited Jacques Fabre-Jeune, the Bishop of Charleston, to watch Biden’s remarks. The president is Catholic but his support of abortion protections put him at odds with some faith leaders.
