- The parents of Tyre Nichols, who died after a violent encounter with police during a traffic stop in Memphis, Tennessee, this month, will attend President Biden’s State of the Union address next week.
- Nichols’ mother, RowVaughn Wells, and stepfather, Rodney Wells, accepted an invitation to the speech at the U.S. Capitol from Congressional Black Caucus Chairman Steven Horsford, Nevada Democrat, a caucus spokesperson confirmed Tuesday.
- “I have invited the Nichols family as guests of the Congressional Black Caucus so they will be there on that day to hear from the president and members of Congress from both sides of the aisle to hear how we will finally take action to keep our communities safe,” Mr. Horsford told MSNBC on Monday.
