Note: forwarded message attached.

This is absolutely beautiful but where was ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX,CNN,MSNBC,UPN,BET, and every other news media.

Was it not news worthy?

If this had been 500 Blacks rioting, every network would have provided coverage.This is the largest class ever!I don't know about you guys, but this sure made me feel proud of our young Black men. In spite of what the news media paint of young Blacks,not all of them are illiterate, gangbangers, rappers or in jail.This is Morehouse's graduation. Did anyone besides Atlantans see these pictures in their newspapers?

If you check out the second set of stills, you may even see proud papa Denzel taking pictures of his son.Click the link & enjoy!!!
