At the 2024 Spring Commencement Ceremonies at Clark Atlanta University, 30-year African American Studies Professor Dr. Daniel Black delivered one of the most compelling addresses ever. It was part sermon, part challenge and part affirmation. He referenced the Bible right along with Kendrick Lamar, Drake and Bossman DLo. It encapsulated everything about the HBCU culture, wrapped into an electric delivery to the graduating class, their friends and family, and alums.

  • @TirraOmilade
    Give that man a raise! He just created your next recruitment video, CAU!!
  • @2011DTrain
    They don’t ever need another celebrity speaker again. Dr. Black has set a new standard in commencement speaking.
  • Lord I didn't graduate from there, but this brother's message wasn't just for them it was for all of US BLACK FOLK! I feel so inspired!!!
  • @bjanell399
    This is what you get when the graduates are involved in the selection of the speaker, Dr Black's oratory excellence.❤❤
  • @user-kw9yr2px7j
    I am a 1984 graduate of Morehouse College. I was honored to have President Biden speak at our Commencement. Having the World's attention on us and hearing our name mentioned over and over. The commencement speak was a campaign speech. Not really for us but look at what I have done. Dr. Daniel Black I am Honored to hear your speech and Envious. We didn't have you. Your speech was spoken directly to the Graduates of CAU and to future CAU students. Your speech spoke as to why we need HBCU Schools. They are not like us. They don't talk like us, and sho as Hell don't encourage like you. Your speech had me feeling like I was in Church. I involuntarily shouted out Hell Yeah!!! I am a dentist and my staff came a running. What!!? Only thing I could say was truth is being spread like seeds. Dr. Black your words Encouraged, Uplifted, Motivated, and Inspired. Here They Come World. Congratulation to My Fellow AUC Brothers and Sisters. Let Your Light Shine
  • @ProfessorEvans
    CAN WE PLEASE PETITION TO HAVE DR. BLACK RECOGNIZED AS A DISTINGUISHED PROFESSOR? Has this already happened? He is the pride of CAU, as many of us have known for a very long time. He deserves to be recognized with the proper title.
  • @gailslocumb6136
    I am 67 years old and have never in my life heard such a powerful, inspirational commencement speech as this. God bless you Professor Dr. Daniel Black, the school is blessed to have you as their professor💌
  • @gbarrett123
    If Harriet Tubman ran to freedom…you can run towards your destiny! 🎉
  • Every graduate should be required to hear this over & over & over. SPREAD the WORD.
  • Dr. Black is like this every day. One of the most positive people I have ever met in my life. I left CAU in '98. Dr. Black stopped by to visit me last year on his book tour out here in Los Angeles. He always is there to support. This is why going to an HBCU is so great!
  • My daughter graduated from CAU this weekend Summa Cum Laude and this speech was so inspiring.
  • @tversaricks8250
    This is what you get when an alumnus who pours himself into the students daily is the commencement speaker. They ain't like us, Dr. Black, they ain't like us!
  • @OneBrighDay
    My son just graduated from CAU, Summa Cum Laude btw, yes I’m proud. But this brother put in work; this was what a commencement speech should be.
  • @lisadokes2655
    This is the BEST EVER send-off for Black college graduates EVER!!! Dr. Daniel Black is fire, thunder, wind, earth and truth embodied in an educated, beautiful, Black man!!! Go CAU Go!!!
  • @user-vf3ky3kn8t
