Howard University--Dr. Oprah Winfrey Speaks

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!

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...

[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.

You will. Just put one foot in front of the other and don't stop. You will make it!

WOW! I just transferred to Howard this year and right now I admit things are a little hard sometimes I wonder if I'm smart enough and right now while howard is very affordable I can barely afford it and Im struggling a little bit.I wanted to give up and just go back home but things are starting to get better this video is amazing and Its given me new strength and Congratulations to your son he is living my dream I cant wait to graduate Law School one day but I know Im on the right path now

@eugehastheblues Finally a white person that understands....thank you. Share your knowledge with your counterparts. Its not about racism, it's about pride in your heritage and the only time that presents a problem is when you use that pride to deny other's thier life liberty and persuit of happiness which we aren't trying to do at all. Different cultures are a wonderful thing. Our differences are what makes us unique and interesting. Why erase that. Everyone isn't the same, embrace that.

so oprah says all that BS but disrespects some Rap artists? i dont understand. She just makes me sick. so we all supposed to give credit to all white folks. screw her. what about our black history Imhotep? What about Kemmet? what about our REAL history not this fake bs please.

[WonderWomanFan4life]

i wished i had gone to HOward. not easy to know when our history has been erased. nice to see oprah up there.. finally some blacks in the audience. not like her tv show had many blacks in audience when she gives away CARS, etc.

What are you doing here?!? If you have issues with the Black community why don't you just stay away from us...Only a coward will write things they cannot say in person.

"My integrity is not for sale!" Now that is a quote to live by!
