The public program to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the Civil Rights Act at the LBJ Presidential Library, originally scheduled for Monday, July 15, 2024, has been postponed to a new date in July. The new date will be announced later this week.
Joe Biden was scheduled to speak, however he later pulled out in the wake of the attempted assassination of former president Donald Trump.
“Given the unfortunate events of the last 24 hours, we anticipated that the president’s schedule could change anytime,” said Mark K. Updegrove, President & CEO of the LBJ Foundation and a presidential historian. “We are honored President Biden remains committed to joining us at the LBJ Library to mark the 60th Anniversary of the Civil Rights Act and we look forward to hosting him later this month.”
Additional details about the program will be announced in advance of the event.
