That's how I feel about it. My shcool has a Black Graduation, usually held on the Sunday after the Shcoolwide, General Commencement Ceremony. There is also a Latino Graduation Ceremony. There may be others but I am not sure...When I graduate I will attend the grad in my dept/majors (proably just one), the Schoolwide one, and the Black One, as well as the Latino One (as long as they aren't conflicting...I gtotta see the homies graduate too)...I know this is a bit much (I might choose b/w the School one and the major one), BUT I feel it's worth it...There are traditions and struggles within Black Culture that others simply DO NOT understand...To walk across that stage with my Black friends that endured the same struggles as me, as far as being the only Black student in most of my classses, and having to work during school, and study twice as much to catch up b/c the High School I went to did not accurately prepare me for college--makes it all WORTHWHILE.
