Congrats everyone. I just wanted to write that for all the Rihanna haters out there.
Congratulations to all the graduates, pre-school to college!!!! Nothing does my heart prouder than to see us striving for more in POSITIVE ways….
I don’t feel so bad about being 36 and having decided to go back to school for that parchment, and these pictures motivate me to keep studying and pushing. Just a lil while longer and I’ll have my degree in International Business with a minor in Finance.
All you graduates know this…your success motivates and inspires even those you don’t know….

Hey I actually see someone from my school up there. Sacramento State I see you.
Congrats to all!
this is what i love seeing…. you guys can keep this post and these people on here forever.Graduation for me was the most exciting years of my life (graduating from high school and college). For the highschool grads: keeping doing what you do and achieving more… For the college grads… you guys did it! keep setting the example for the younger ones under you , show them the right route because so many of them are lost right now…. Im proud of all of them especially the guy going to harvard…. my hat go off to you… I hope you all do well. Im glad to see males getting degrees. I like seeing black people getting their education on… we are more than snappin our fingers and fighting and shaking out behinds, we are more than trying to get with flava flav… we are more than that… we have knowledge, power, and education… and no one can take that away from us.
These pictures remind me of the happy days before. Graduation for me was the most exciting years of my life. I am a single black girl from Black century com…. which is a niche dating service for blacks and whites.
ConGRADulations to all! May you continue to be blessed!
A special congratulations to the brother going to Harvard, that’s a good look and I wish you the best!
Due to statistics, it’s always refreshing to see educated and aspiring brothas!
This post is more important, than any Rhianna or Jay – Z post or “Who Rocked It Better” post.
This is our future, this is our present. We need to change the DNA of our culture.
I love the fact that were honoring our graduates.
Thanks Angel!! I was sooo ecstatic to finally see myself up there! It truly is a beautiful and encouraging thing for people to view such a momentous occasion…I wish everybody the best of luck and much continued success in the future!

I noticed that there is no picture of Grad student with associate degree… only HS and Bachelor degrees and some grad school like Medical School, Dentistry School, Law School. Is it because nobody sending in pictures with associate degree?

Much success……I see the first guy is planning on Harvard….I wanted to apply there but I’m was scared of being around too many snobs lol. Do big things my dude. Success and congrats to all. ol *fights back tears*.
@ Crystal heck my mother was 30 when she finished getting her hs diploma from some adult school and 32 when she went on to get some higher education….age don’t stop you…I see people as old as 60 in classes with me and other youth under 25 getting first degrees or finishing. Don’t know you but I believe in you and much success.
@ 77 I concur.
@ 53.KC I say the same to myself… I think it’s like you those are our people right there……whether we know them or not it’s because they show some of the best of us and it’s something vs what most media likes to portray us as (gangbangers, murderous, leeches, etc.).
Dr. Ahmad, 26, received his Doctorate of Medicine from UT Southwestern University. He is pictured with his brothers, Jamaal and Kwame, and his sister, Iman.
