Powerful Speech.

     First Lady Michelle Obama gave a powerful commencement speech at City College of New York June 3rd 2016. Over 3000 people attended this momentous occasion and over 3000 people cheered when the First Lady leveled with the people. By helping the graduates understand that she completely understands their journey because of her own journey and understanding of life. Without the undertone of oppression Michelle Obama was able to make a point about race indifference and strike it with inspiration stating;



“its fair to say our founding fathers never could’ve  imagined this day”.



Impressing upon the graduates that anything is possible no matter what the adversity. It was perfection! Watch;
