LeBron James announces Barack Obama as ‘Graduate Together’ speaker

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James announced that his ‘Graduate Together’ ceremony landed the 44th President of the United States.

When LeBron James announced last week that he was helping put together “something special” for the graduating class of 2020, who will all not be able to graduate in the traditional way due to the state of the country under coronavirus, when he announced the “Graduate Together” ceremony that will air on all four major networks, Facebook, YouTube and TikTok on May 16. Although a graduation ceremony with LeBron James would rank as pretty cool for most, LeBron announced another huge guest who will be part of the ceremony to honor the 2020 class: President Barack Obama.

James confirmed that bringing Obama to the program was the “something special” he had been working on.

The LeBron James Family Foundation is teaming up with the educational nonprofit XQ to provide a “Graduate Together” event that will air on ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC on Saturday, May 16 at 8 p.m.
