The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) has invited the parents of Tyre Nichols, a man who died after being beaten by police, to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address on Feb. 7.

Five African American police officers in Memphis, Tennessee, are accused of beating Nichols for an extended time. Video released by the Memphis Police Department doesn’t appear to show him fighting back, although at one point he tried to flee.
