Obama to Class of 2020 graduates from historically black universities: 'You're all role models now.' (via CNBCMakeIt)
"You're being asked to find your way in a world, in the middle of a devastating pandemic and a terrible recession. The timing is not ideal and let's be honest, a disease like this just spotlights the underlying inequalities and extra burdens that black communities have historically had to deal with in this country," he said.
"You're all role models now, whether you like it or not," said Obama. "Your participation in this democracy, your courage to stand up for what's right, your willingness to forge coalitions — these actions will speak volumes. And if you're inactive, that will also speak volumes."first public address during the pandemic
