Former President Donald Trump will speak with journalists in a Q&A on Wednesday, at the National Association of Black Journalists Annual Convention and Career Fair in Chicago.

The session will focus on the "most pressing issues facing the Black community," the campaign said in an announcement on Monday, and will be moderated by Fox News' Harris Faulkner, Semafor's Kadia Goba, and ABC News' Rachel Scott.

"President Trump accomplished more for black Americans than any other president in recent history by implementing America First policies on the economy, immigration, energy, law and order, and foreign policy," the Trump campaign said in a news release shared with Just The News.

"Historic rates of black voters now support President Trump, and  the reason is simple: Black voters know that President Trump is the only presidential candidate who can deliver results on day one because he already has," it added.

The campaign also highlighted the former president's record when it comes to helping black voters, including legislation that contained "historic permanent funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities, comprehensive bipartisan criminal justice reform," and "[increasing] median income for black households."

The appearance in Chicago comes on the same day he will hold a rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, at 6 p.m. Eastern.
