It's not every day Barack Obama gives your graduation speech.  In honor of LeBron James' star-studded virtual "Graduate Together" ceremony for the class of 2020 on Saturday night, the 44th president of the United States stepped up to the plate to deliver some uplifting words in these challenging times.  After all, the coronavirus pandemic and social distancing protocols have shuttered schools for months and put an end to traditional graduation ceremonies this year.

In his first major address since the country went into lockdown amid the coronavirus pandemic, former US president Barack Obama‘s speech read like an indictment of Donald Trump‘s response to the global health crises. The 58-year-old delivered a commencement speech to graduates at historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) on May 16, and offered his words of wisdom.

Former US president Barack Obama, 58, and Former First Lady Michelle Obama, 56, posted a clip of themselves reading a kid’s book to give parents across the country “a break” from home schooling their children. The couple read The Word Collector by Peter H. Reynolds and emphasized the importance of libraries. “It’s a fun book that vividly illustrates the transformative power of words, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did,” Barack said of the kid’s book.
