Graduates, I wish I could tell you to count yourselves lucky today.
However, I can’t pretend the future is imminently bright and this world will default to justice and peace as long as you work hard, hope, and align with our society’s current notions of progress.
On Sunday June 30, 17 high school and 18 middle school graduates and their families from all over the greater Seattle area celebrated their educational achievements at the 4th Annual Black Graduation for Middle School and High School students at the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Institute.
