to Howard’s graduates was a call to civic action and responsibility. His commencement address was delivered at a time of heated political rhetoric and debate on race, fueled by a Trump-dominated Republican presidential primary.Obama’s advice to graduates on dealing with expected critics: “Rebut them.
