Black graduate students of Harvard University organized a blacks-only graduation ceremony that was held on campus. While it was reported that the controversial ceremony was eventually opened to white graduate students who wished to attend as well, black undergraduate students were not welcome. Items on the agenda were politics, social issues, and “staying woke.” There was also much emphasis put on being black in an elite college environment.
