Biden commencement address at Morehouse sparks debate over identity

ATLANTA — Regardless of what happens at Morehouse College’s commencement — whether President Biden’s keynote speech is jeered or cheered, whether students protest raucously or respectfully or not at all — Calvin Bell III will feel conflicted.

Morehouse has opened many doors for the graduating senior. The college helped him become a finalist for the Rhodes scholarship. He interned for Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and is mulling a career in law or perhaps politics. A busload of family members will be in the crowd on May 19, cheering his crowning achievement as a Morehouse man.
