Graduation season is here, and some major names are stepping up to inspire the next generation.
Several celebrities, athletes, and leaders have been selected as commencement speakers at Historically Black Colleges and Universities across the country.
Queen Latifah recently spoke at North Carolina A&T State University, while Chris Paul is scheduled to speak at Morehouse College.
Debbie Allen will deliver remarks at Clark Atlanta University, and political analyst Symone Sanders will speak at Spelman College.
Meanwhile, Magic Johnson recently addressed graduates at Tuskegee University, and Delroy Lindo is preparing to speak at Fisk University.
These speakers were selected to motivate graduates as they enter the next chapter of life. Many students and families say seeing successful Black leaders share wisdom and encouragement makes graduation even more meaningful.
