Beautiful story! Best of luck for the strong young man, who's overcome major hurdles at a young age! Gives us older folks hope for the younger generations! Congrats!
Mr. Jenkins - I am beyond proud of you and I’m so glad you are able to share your story with the American public. You are an inspiration to ALL people.
Young, talented, handsome, articulate, African American, male, brains, good smile, white teeth, and hopeful with excellent outlook on life! Wow, he shouldn't have any problems finding a date once he leaves Harvard (or while there!)
3:21 ... "who's laughing now baby" "ha, ya, ya that would be me", "uh, that would be them" .... huh? I don't quite understand that reaction and why she would say, "um, that would be them" What that tells me, is that he did not like being called Harvard and that the host doesn't understand him not wanting to be "made fun of". Lol that was kind of a funny back and forth mis-undestanding of each other.
Update on the story Richard completed his first year at Harvard and is returning for the Fall. Thank you all for your support. Please help me keep this brilliant flame lit with your donations: www.gofundme.com/he039s-headed-to-harvard
What happened at the contaminated water summit last week, CNN? I know that bad government blocked your reporter from attending but still, you could probably find out some information if you try. Or why not randomly pick 100 communities in the United States and test the water yourself? Corporate sponsors shouldn't block telling the public about ingesting contaminants. Surely at least one journalist has a conscience and cares about public health. Anyone?
Yasmine Mahdi CHILL! He or she said congrats, you need to stop taking things to seriously, he just said congrats that he got to harvard,so stop whineing about it
ONYX RAZOR THICKET "some fall through the crack?" You racist piece of shit... that's how you know your actually the racist... What a way to bring ppl up, by sitting them right back down...
Here is the issue to all you . This young man did not accept his a color as a reason to fail. He had challenges and he chose to proceed with determination. He is the poster child of white the majority of white Americans know what you can do and some black Americans what you can do. So the comments are sarcasm not racism for the most part. This guy can have easily fell for the trap of white privileged or the trap of you are a victim. He proves that it’s a bull crap .. So follow his example and invest in your self and not into hate victim mentality or Democrats push that says you are black and you should be on welfare . I’m a conservative and I say black Americans are way better then welfare !!!! You are so don’t let Democrats think it’s your place. You don’t need training wheels in life ..
Are people really trying to down this guy by attributing his EARNED success to his skin color? He overcame FAR GREATER obstacles than any of the legacies that get into Ivy league based on family ties. He even made programs to help pave the way for people behind him. You all are what's wrong with America!
Cause he is smart, but racist, jealous people insist on making him seem like a joke or that he got in because of Affirmative Action. What's even more laughable is that it mostly benefits white women, not minorities. It just shows how messed up people are... worrying about the wrong thing! 😂

I didn't like the fact that the goal was increase from $25,000 to $40,000 and it might be raised again. For that reason and only that reason I'm giving this a thumbs down otherwise it would be a thumbs up.
@ Yeah : The phenomenon of homeless Make the crime an address And make of God only legend Because he is afraid to become homeless Shelters Increases the phenomenon and does not solve it Solving their problems is a national duty on the government ......... God bless America ,, ,, Thanks

Who would dislike this?!
CNN is corrupt. Although I think the story is great, CNN doesn't deserve a like
Mojir Maza trump supporters!
Those who lack any real purpose.
The next white male school shooters that can't get laid and thinks blacks bumped them out of something!
I believe there are bots that dislike CNN videos

3:21 ... "who's laughing now baby" "ha, ya, ya that would be me", "uh, that would be them" .... huh? I don't quite understand that reaction and why she would say, "um, that would be them" What that tells me, is that he did not like being called Harvard and that the host doesn't understand him not wanting to be "made fun of". Lol that was kind of a funny back and forth mis-undestanding of each other.

Fleur Bandito You and me both know they don’t care😂
Cameron Smith--I know but it still ticks me off.
We just need a freaking universal basic income
Proud Globalist Move to Venezuela then, shit for brains.
We have it here in Scotland.
Yales not the best right now lately. Hopefully Harvard is better for him.
I wish he wouldn't have stumbled at the end, "go out......go throughout daily life." Because I know that haters will probably damn him for that.
FrankGarrett316 perfection is found in correction. fuck what anyone else thinks.
Good luck brother

Chaylen Patricia ✊🏾 United we stand!
He is an inspiration for everyone 👍
A full ride... 🎉
Wait wait wait, America is way to racist for something like this to happen. How'd Trump let this slip through the cracks??

How ? I thought the world was dominated by ws
#TrumpsAmerica
It is! Some fall through the cracks. Whites are dying off so there are some bright spots ahead!
How? By working f**king hard that's how.
Some kids who are bullied shoot up schools, others use it a fuel to propel beyond them. Hes not if that ilk.

Wow wen he said it was insane she said yes u are smh she trew shade
is it me, or does her whole personality change when she starts talking to him.
Are people really trying to down this guy by attributing his EARNED success to his skin color?

So he listen to his teachers, got an education.. he didn’t become a victim.. . See it works.
AWESOME!
Rich kids gonna roast him.
A young black man coming from adverse conditions actually made it?Put this on breaking news...
WTF, that brotha stole my nike's last year.
Why is an intelligent, hard working young man a news story?
JD McNugent cause it's something good that actually happened instead of a school shooting or some shit? We can publicize shooters but not smart men?
Congrats Man!! Grown Man Status Now. : )
Paris on a school trip while homeless?
2004 45 Haitian families locked in buildings during hurican and the cover up between president George Bush and Port st. Lucie Florida Sheriff's Department..."
Congratulations
"Congrats!"
I didn't like the fact that the goal was increase from $25,000 to $40,000 and it might be raised again. For that reason and only that reason I'm giving this a thumbs down otherwise it would be a thumbs up.
Excelente !
Nice to see a black man actually make something out of himself instead of blaming all their problems on Trump, cops, and whites
snakehips3131 stfu dumbass
Ernest Wilcox truth hurts boy
snakehips3131 boy? Go fuck yourself you DEVIL.
I hope he doesn't falls to sleep in the common area.
This is America
Full ride on that diversity quota seat very impressive...
@ Yeah :
The phenomenon of homeless
Make the crime an address
And make of God only legend
Because he is afraid to become homeless
Shelters
Increases the phenomenon and does not solve it
Solving their problems is a national duty on the government
.........
God bless America

Thanks
How?
Affirmative Action=Black Privilege
Tony Stark is a super hero, because of the Iron Man suit. With out the suit he’s just another nerd.
Jester Avrgjoe Affirmative Action no longer exist. It was repelled
J M
Only 8 states have banned affirmative action. But colleges like Harvard still practice AA.

Homeless but he was in Paris?
It was a school trip. He did well in school. Unlike you
Leo Copeland maybe hear the whole video first then open your mouth?
Im not bashing him or anything I’m just trying to understand. I’m happy he made it
Leo Copeland, Stop drinking the hater aide.
There are a lot of schools that provide scholarships to children in need so that they can participate in school enrichment activities and programs.
I guess Harvard let's anybody in now.
STAN STEDANKO but not you
Jealous much?
