And a political call to action is motivation for graduates of an HBCU and any college who enter a work world where politics is central to just about every aspect of their lives. Hardly anything they will do as an entrepreneur or company staff person won’t be impacted by politics … from the food that’s inspected for them to eat, to the roads they drive on, to the internet they use, to the legislators who decide whether a woman can make their own health choices, to the education they just completed. If they didn’t learn that at Howard University, they missed an important lesson that wasn’t taught in the classroom. Congratulations to all the graduates though. Howard will always be with them. My commencement speaker was President George H.W. Bush, I’d take Biden over him any day.
