It was my youngest son's graduation from Howard University School of Law. Oprah Winfrey was the perfect graduation speaker with a message for the sea of black students. We also celebrated our other son who received his MBA that same week. Thanks to the Village that helped raise our two sons, one with a law degree, the other with an MBA. Praise God!

You do a lot, ... ( 7 months ago by asdfghx987)

You do a lot, Arthur. You forgot to say that you are also mean as a wet hen. Go 'way. I see you have some interesting videos on your page. You might be suffering from "Red Neckitis."
Symptoms..Coming around and saying ugly things. You need some social conditioning so you'll learn how to act in polite company.Carry on.

Congratualtions to the graduates of HU! May God forever bless you in your journey throughout life. Thank you for such an excellent inspiring video. I am working hard to make it to law school, and I must say that this video has helped me along my journey. Again thank you and congratualations.

While watching this ... ( 5 months ago by alwaysopen)

While watching this I wondered how it would go over if the word "black" was replaced with the word "white". I live 10 miles from HU and I don't appreciate the first speaker's remarks about anything being "all black" - school, restaurant, church or store. Racism works both ways and this was proof.

Ohh Art how bitter art thou??? lol you are extremely unhappy with your existence and it's sad its very doubtful you do any volunteer work who would want to be around you for free? Envy is a deadly sin

Sweetheart, if this racist gives you a vision for your future, I worry about your future.

But there ARE all black schools, built when all white schools would not let us in. There are still all white establishments. All Korean. All Latino. That's not racist. That's what it is. Difference is, there were more than a few white students graduating from Howard. We do not exclude.

whenever i feel doubt within my heart about my future i would listen to this speech over and over again and feel motivated. this is a real life experience about someone so ordinary and yet so extraordinary. i'll be graduating in one more year and will forever remember this speech, it takes me along this difficult road to find my ultimate calling. thank you Oprah and for the one who posted this. God bless!

You know it is sad you call Oprah a racist when she has worked with and supported more people of more races than anyone I can think of. Help me understand. Why do you call her a racist? Because she said white people work for her? We should be so lucky. How exactly is she racist? Explain.

Its hard to go back to school when u are a multimillionaire but thats what Oprah did a few years ago and graduated from TSU .
Bless U Howard for this honor for Oprah!
Morehouse...? We're waiting...

Have you listened ... ( 3 months ago by kalindoscopy)

Have you listened to her speech? If the entire scholastic system wasn't european, it would be funny. As things stand, it's a sick parody and a twisted truth. We are NOT black or white first and foremost, whatever Oprah and her ilk like to believe. Get over your skin.

A few points of ... ( 3 months ago by CMGrant07)

A few points of reference: a) Howard is a HISTORICALLY black college which means a majority of its students are of African descent (from across the world), primarily b/ c they were barred from other places for 100's of yrs.

Any and all ... ( 3 months ago by CMGrant07)

Any and all students from any race or ethnic background are welcome to attend Howard. SInce 1867, when HU opened its doors, it's been that way. We presently are rated as having one of the most diverse international populations of any campus.

Oprah isn't racist, ... ( 3 months ago by CMGrant07)

Oprah isn't racist, she simply embraces the rich legacy of African-Americans. As a proud graduate of the College of Arts and Sciences in May 2007, I'm grateful for the poster of this vid. Thanks!

CMGrant07 you must ... ( 2 months ago by BPrideful)

CMGrant07 you must not go to HU. Howard was founded by the Freedmans Bureau to educate freed slaves. We are proudly historically Black, for people of African descent around the world. It's in the mission.

I watch this video now and again to keep me focused. I am successful partly because I can see people like me, like Oprah and then I can relate. [sigh] just really good to see when you are bogged down with college and there seems like there is no light at the end of the tunnel...

Hey, I hear you. ... ( 2 months ago by MyWorldPodcast)

Hey, I hear you. Please don't give up. There is always a light...even if you can't see it. Still, try to enjoy the ride, because college days can be the best days of your life.
