It was my youngest son’s graduation from Howard University School of Law. Oprah Winfrey was the perfect graduation speaker with a message for the sea of black students. We also celebrated our other son who received his MBA that same week. Thanks to the Village that helped raise our two sons, one with a law degree, the other with an MBA. Praise God!
