WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is calling for action to end the type of “hate-fueled violence” that authorities say motivated a white man to fatally shoot three Black people at a Florida store over the weekend. Biden said Monday people must speak out about injustice. Biden also spoke on Monday’s 60th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington. He met at the White House with the family of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights advocates. King delivered his famous “I Have A Dream” speech from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the march.
