Biden includes faith leaders in summit's charge to ‘rise together against hate'
(RNS) — Citing the murders of a Sikh man and a Black churchgoer on the anniversaries of their killings, President Biden, at a White House summit Thursday (Sept. 15), addressed hate-fueled violence, committing to new and renewed measures to combat hate, including attacks aimed at people of faith. 'There's a throughline of hate, from massacres of Indigenous people to the original sin of slavery, terror of the (Ku Klux) Klan, anti-immigration violence against the Irish, Italians, Chinese, Mexicans — so many others laced through our history,' he said in an address at a daylong event called United We Stand.
