Black Graduation is a pre-commencement graduation celebration. It was initially started on college campuses to create a more intimate, cultural, and personal graduation experience for Black graduates. Black graduation connects the Black community and allows students and families to take pride in their accomplishments, while also celebrating the strength, beauty, and resilience of their Blackness. Many colleges today have Black, Latino, Asian/Pacific Islander graduations alongside regular school graduation to celebrate and acknowledge the culture and accomplishments of students from diverse cultures.
