WASHINGTON (May 7, 2016) - President Barack Obama addressed members of the 2016 graduating class of Howard University and challenged them to serve as “seeds of change” for social and political justice in America.

Obama greeted more than 2,300 graduates and more than 25,000 family members at the commencement ceremony on Howard University’s main campus. President Obama is the sixth sitting U.S. president to deliver the keynote address at a Howard University commencement.
