Obama's day: A trip to New York

President Obama spends Monday in New York City, with events devoted to urban problems, political fundraising and a talk show appearance with David Letterman.

Departing the White House in the late morning, Obama's first New York event is a roundtable discussion launching the My Brother's Keeper Alliance.

The new non-profit organization is an extension of the My Brother's Keeper initiative begun by Obama, a program designed to help young men of color.

Among the topics for discussion: The recent violence in Baltimore, and police-community relations across the country.

Obama is also scheduled to make a speech at the My Brother's Keeper event.

In the late afternoon, Obama will tape an appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman. It will be the president's last appearance with Letterman, who is retiring after more than two decades hosting the CBS talk show.

Obama ends his day in New York with fundraisers for the Democratic National Committee.

The president is scheduled to return to the White House late Monday night.
