President Joe Biden is packing his bags for a trip to the Lone Star and Silver States – a three-day tour with a packed agenda. Starting July 15th, Biden will touch down in Austin, Texas, where he's scheduled to mark an important milestone in civil rights history at the LBJ Presidential Library, per the official itinerary released by The White House. It's the 60th Anniversary of the Civil Rights Act he's commemorating, an act that reshaped the nation's legal landscape in innumerable ways.

But that's not all, later on the same day, it's off to Las Vegas, Nevada, on the same calendar date, where details on his engagements are yet to be disclosed but one might speculate that it could be related to policy or fundraising give the city's political clout and financial influence. On July 16th, his words will aim to resonate with the audience at the 115th NAACP National Convention, where Biden will speak to the Biden-Harris Administration's endeavors in promoting racial justice and equity, according to The White House.

The last lap of the President's journey takes place on July 17th, when he's slated to address the UnidosUS Annual Conference. A rundown of his administration's “historic accomplishments,” a list that includes lowering prescription drug costs for seniors, a reduction in the Latino uninsured rate, and fostering a boom in Latino small business, as detailed in The White House statement.
