WASHINGTON — President Obama told 500 graduates at the historically black men’s Morehouse College in Atlanta to embrace their talents — but focus their attention on their roles as fathers.
“Everything else is unfulfilled if we fail at family,” Obama said to the graduates sitting in the rain.
He told graduates to lead by example and that, while discrimination still exists, not to use it as an excuse.
“Whatever you’ve gone through, it pales in comparison to the hardships previous generations endured, and they overcame them.”
