Booker T. Washington High School was chosen by President Obama in a contest to have the honor of the President speak at their graduation. BTW submitted a video entry and made it to the final three and then was chosen by the President.

Regardless of one's personal politics it was a great day for the city and especially these students that come from one of the poorest sections of Memphis. While in Memphis the President also toured the flooded areas of the city.
