At the 2024 Spring Commencement Ceremonies at Clark Atlanta University, 30-year African American Studies Professor Dr. Daniel Black delivered one of the most compelling addresses ever. It was part sermon, part challenge and part affirmation. He referenced the Bible right along with Kendrick Lamar, Drake and Bossman DLo. It encapsulated everything about the HBCU culture, wrapped into an electric delivery to the graduating class, their friends and family, and alums.

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.

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 KZfaq) 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.

Dr. Black, Dr. Black. My goodness what a speech. If they were not already on fire, they were before you sit down. You certainly encouraged them and gave them their marching orders. What a word, what a word. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Dr Daniel Black was just as animated as a college student on the campus of ‘CC as he is now! I am so very proud of Dr. Daniel Black, who I attended Clark College with. We entered as freshman in 1984 and graduated in 1988. Loved his spirit then and this oratorical masterpiece is a testament of his talent and character! Historical Fact: Our class was the last class to graduate under “Clark College”, before consolidating with Atlanta University and becoming Clark Atlanta University. I was blessed to be under his instruction in 2019 at a Workshop at Gammon Theological Seminary. He brought the 🔥 then too! “Here they come ya’ll … here they come!” #CAU ❤️🖤 Our #schoolonthehill that we love true & true! #TheHolySpirit resides here! What an amazing oratory experience!

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!!!!
