I’m a 1994 graduate of Howard University. Nobody and I mean nobody knows us like us. Dr. Black’s speech was relevant and inspiring. It spoke to the deepest part of all of us who had the honor and gift of matriculating through a HBCU. My skin felt like it was dancing from beginning to end. His speech is relevant for new grads and previous ones. This is the standard!
This was a great speech and straight to the point kinda speech especially for us skin of color and everyone else. God bless you Dr. Professor Black! You did that!
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!
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💌
Dr. BLACK CONTINUE TO INSPIRE & EDIFY YOUR GRADUATES LET THEM KNOW THEIR WORTH IN THIS UNJUST SOCIETY. IF WE CONTINUE TO BUILD COMMUNITIES IT WILL SHOW OUR GREATNESS.
What an excellent commencement speech and well directed arrow pointing CAU students towards their amazing destinies. Great job Dr. Daniel Black, God bless you!❤
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
I graduated from a PWI but just did a holy dance in my office after hearing that magnificently powerful message of faith and encouragement by Dr. Black. Let the church say AMEN!! ❤
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!
Fabulous! Makes me want to go back to school at CAU. I'm about to celebrate 60 years married and 79 years on this earth. Completed MEd at 53, but I missed a real education from Dr. Black at CAU. Perhaps next life.😂 Delores A.
I feel like taking his class just because. You can never have too much African American studies. If I found out he’s giving a speech somewhere….I’M THERE!
Sir you are correct. This is AMERICAN history. Our ancestors survived so we can have good lives and be a part of this world. Their suffering is not in vein.
This wasn’t just a commencement address, this was an impact statement of sacrifices and earnings of the ancestors speaking through the genius mind of Dr. Black. Pay attention (to your power) descendants , pay attention.
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.
@@barbarajim-george2186 he does! He's my Cousin and we were raised like brothers and sisters! He did a tribute at my Dad's funeral, his Dad's funeral, and just recently his Cousins funeral...and he spoke just like this!! We love our DR. DANIEL BLACK!! 🤗💛💛💛
At the age of 78 I am so inspired! This speech enhances everything that I ancestors have struggled for and let you know that we've come a long ways throughout the struggle and will continue to progress! I love you Dr D Black And thank you very much!
Dr. Daniel Black is a legend in the Atlanta University Center and throughout the Atlanta area colleges for his speaking and teaching! He is a legend! His price just went up! ⬆️
Dr. Black be snapping’ on clips of the Karen Hunter as a guest Dr. Greg Carr’s programs , so I KNEW he was going to come through with this. Those young folks picked the right one, now everybody’s inspired!
My daughter got accepted to Grad school. Here she comes! Thank you thank you Dr. Black for your LOVE and wholesomeness sir. Honor and respect to you forever sir!
Our daughter graduated Summa Cum Laude at this Commencement ceremony and we had friends & family from across the country who bore witness to Dr. Black's greatest commencement speech ....EVER!!! Dr. Black has absolutely has raised the bar & RESET the standard! This special class of 2024 earned this...and his speech was a clear indication of such!!
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!!!
Did what a commencement speaker is supposed to do. Concise, impactful, culturally relevant to his target audience (the graduates), thematic, complimentary and motivational. I have ears on the ground there and some people were not pleased with the choice. Looking for a national celebrity or someone that ranks higher on instagram. They made the right damn choice. In house, home-grown, proud alumnae and unapologetic....... HIGHLY qualified to speak to black graduates. Job well done!!!!!!!!!
Dr. Black's speech did preach, Even a Morehouse man found himself in tears, beseeched. With wisdom and grace, his words did reach, Leaving hearts and minds enriched, each to teach.
I am watching this in tears, 40 years after my first college graduation, wishing that I could have heard this speech, hoping that everyone I know listens to it at least once. Thank you, Dr. Black.
Im an old soldier, didn't go to a formal college, but took college courses. This dude makes me wish I was eighteen again so that I can go back and experience his motivation. Awesome speech.
my oldest had her commencement at UMES last week, and their speaker felt the need to go off on so many tangents that had NOTHING to do with celebrating the graduating class of 2024. I applaud this man and his speech because it CELEBRATES the achievement of our children...thank you sir!!!!
On the Anniversary of My graduation from THIS University....Clark Atlanta University May 19, 2003 in the pouring rain, I am in tearsssssssssssssssssss. I needed to hear this !! Here I MF come
@@JenniferNash14 It was cold & wet, but we were So happy to graduate, I'm sure I was sick the next day, but didn't even care. I am sure ambassador young has not spoken at a commencement since 😂
I just cannot get enough of this! My Lord! The most powerful, uplifting, brilliant encouragement for CAU graduates... and everyone. I am 65, a graduate of an HBCU and have already watched this 20 times. Just too much exhilarating wisdom and positive, genuine pride to stop watching. Shared with my entire circle. So motivating for me!! Congratulations CAU!!!... How blessed you are to have Dr. Black. all HBCUs should promote this speech as prerequisite for graduation... (watching... again and again!) call the roll, Dr. Black...call the roll... Amen! Beautiful
I watched in real time because my great niece was in the graduating class and when I tell you Dr. Black had us in a grip (those in attendance and those viewing through TH-cam) with “Here they come y’all, here they come!” Inspired!!!
He done done good (to paraphrase an Ole' Negro Spiritual). God Almighty ordered Dr. Black's steps and WE fell under his spell. It was an "abondanza" of riches. The man and his OPUS entered the realm of legend immediately after it concluded.
This HBCU speech was hands down the best commencement speech I have ever heard. Dr. Black, you did that! Congratulations CAU grads!!! Go out into the world and do great things. Leave a mark for all of the world to see, and remember don't forget to take the Holy Ghost with you!
So blessed to have been there and for my daughter who received her Masters that day to hear and take flight. She is coming as they all are. Bravo Dr. Black
Wow! Your classes Dr Black must be standing room only. So inspirational…I wish every Black man, women, and child could hear this speech and put it only weekly auto-repeat. Loved it ❤

Yes he has

Yyaassss ❤❤❤
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!
