The event was originally scheduled to be held last week but was postponed due to inclement weather.

Black History Month has been recognized by every U.S. president since 1976 , including Trump during his first term.

The event comes as Trump has called diversity programs “discrimination” and pushed to eradicate diversity programs from the government.

During the 2024 campaign, Trump tried to reach Black voters through in-person events in Atlanta , Chicago and New York .

Trump 's Black conservative allies conducted roundtables at Black barbershops and bus tours through majority-Black cities.

Trump frequently denigrated Black communities in his pitch and made claims that pitted voters of color against immigrants, who he said were taking “Black jobs”.
