NEW YORK - Barack Obama told this year's graduates at historically black colleges that the coronavirus pandemic has"torn back the curtain" on the idea that those in charge of the country know what they're doing.
The comments to graduates of 74 HBCUs focused on social justice and the importance of activism during the Covid-19 era, and the extent to which the pandemic had fallen disproportionately on the shoulders of minority Americans in cities like New York, Chicago, Detroit and Washington DC.
"That's why folks with power will keep trying to divide you over the means. Because that's how nothing changes. You get a system that looks out for the rich and powerful and nobody else."
