Several Colleges Hosting Black-Only Graduations; Held in Addition to Colleges' Regular Graduations

Dozens of universities across the nation will be hosting segregated graduation ceremonies during the next month for their black graduates, The College Fix website reports today (May 16, 2019).

These supplementary ceremonies are voluntary and are offered in addition to the universities' regular graduations.

Sometimes they are co-hosted by black campus resource centers and various academic departments. They serve to give extra honors and recognition to black students earning their degrees.

The popularity in offering these segregated graduations also seems to be growing. A new report by the National Association of Scholars that looked at 173 schools found that 76 of them, or 44 percent, offer such ceremonies.
