President Joe Biden visits Austin for Civil Rights Act's 60th anniversary, delivering speech at LBJ library.

President Joe Biden visits Austin to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act. Biden's speech at the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library will be his first public event since ending his re-election bid. The visit honors the Civil Rights Act's 60-year milestone, which made discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin illegal. The trip to Texas was initially postponed due to an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump and Biden's COVID-19 diagnosis.
