When She Made a Powerful Speech to the Graduating Class of 2020

Beyoncé's iconic speech to 2020 graduates was a tribute to the good work the younger generation has done to champion Black Lives Matter and call out the sexism and racism that exists in America.

"Thank you for using your collective voice and letting the world know that Black lives matter," she said. "Real change has started with you, this new generation of high school and college graduates who we celebrate today . . . don't let the world make you feel that you have to look a certain way to be brilliant."
