so it’s up to you to widen your circle of concern — to care about justice for everybody, white, black and brown. everybody. not just in your own community, but also across this country and around the world. to make sure everyone has a voice, and everybody gets a seat at the table; that everybody, no matter what you look like or where you come from, what your last name is — it doesn’t matter, everybody gets a chance to walk through those doors of opportunity if they are willing to work hard enough.

when leland shelton was four years old — where’s leland? (applause.) stand up, leland. when leland shelton was four years old, social services took him away from his mama, put him in the care of his grandparents. by age 14, he was in the foster care system. three years after that, leland enrolled in morehouse. and today he is graduating phi beta kappa on his way to harvard law school. (applause.) but he’s not stopping there. as a member of the national foster care youth and alumni policy council, he plans to use his law degree to make sure kids like him don’t fall through the cracks. and it won’t matter whether they’re black kids or brown kids or white kids or native american kids, because he’ll understand what they’re going through. and he’ll be fighting for them. he’ll be in their corner. that’s leadership. that’s a morehouse man right there. (applause.)

that’s what we’ve come to expect from you, morehouse — a legacy of leaders — not just in our black community, but for the entire american community. to recognize the burdens you carry with you, but to resist the temptation to use them as excuses. to transform the way we think about manhood, and set higher standards for ourselves and for others. to be successful, but also to understand that each of us has responsibilities not just to ourselves, but to one another and to future generations. men who refuse to be afraid. men who refuse to be afraid.

members of the class of 2013, you are heirs to a great legacy. you have within you that same courage and that same strength, the same resolve as the men who came before you. that’s what being a morehouse man is all about. that’s what being an american is all about.

success may not come quickly or easily. but if you strive to do what’s right, if you work harder and dream bigger, if you set an example in your own lives and do your part to help meet the challenges of our time, then i’m confident that, together, we will continue the never-ending task of perfecting our union.

congratulations, class of 2013. god bless you. god bless morehouse. and god bless the united states of america. (applause.)
