Obama to address Morehouse College commencement by Carter Brown

'President Barack Obama is delivering the commencement address at Morehouse College, the historically black, all-male institution that counts Martin Luther King Jr. among its alumni. The Atlanta-based private school says about 500 students will receive undergraduate degrees Sunday, becoming what are known as “Morehouse Men.” It is Obama’s second graduation speech of the year. Last Sunday, he urged graduates of Ohio State University in Columbus to become vigorous participants in their democracy. Rain is pouring near downtown Atlanta, but that hasn’t deterred hundreds of spectators. Volunteers are distributing ponchos. Alumni and families of graduates sit beneath umbrellas, but the stage is covered and remains dry. Morehouse officials say only dangerous weather, not rain, will force the ceremony indoors. After the speech, Obama is scheduled to attend a Democratic Senate fundraiser in Atlanta. Obama’s third and final commencement address of the season comes Friday at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md.' I think it is interesting to see that Obama takes the time to deliver speeches at so many campuses around the U.S. To me, it makes him more of a respectable person to see him taking the time out his busy schedule to give commencement speeches at campuses that are so historically significant.
