Obama Encourages Graduates to Embrace Unity

Former President Barack Obama encouraged 2020 high school graduates to embrace unity to solve the world’s problems amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Said Obama: “First, don’t be afraid. America’s gone through tough times before — slavery, civil war, famine, disease, The Great Depression and 9/11. And each time, we came out stronger.”

“Second, do what you think is right. Doing what feels good, what’s convenient, what’s easy — that’s how little kids think.”

He concluded: “Unfortunately, a lot of so-called grown-ups, including some with fancy titles and important jobs, still think that way — which is why things are so screwed up,”
