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.
