A Baltimore native is going viral for celebrating her college graduation in a way unique way. Latia Carter, a recent Coppin State University graduate, earned her bachelor's degree with honors in computer science and mathematics last month. The 25-year-old first-generation college graduate marked the achievement by posting a rap video about her journey. The video has reached more than 1.3 million views and helped her gain more than 10,000 followers. Carter says the response has led to job opportunities, speaking engagements and interview requests. Born and raised in Baltimore, Carter says she wanted to celebrate beating the odds and hopes to continue making music while pursuing a doctoral degree in the future. #Baltimore #CoppinStateUniversity #Graduation #ViralVideo #BaltimoreGraduate #Foryoupage #FYP #Explorepage #WJZ

🚨 DAMN. Ruby Bridges said the moment she finally understood what was happening during school integration was when a little white boy told her: “My mom said I can’t play with you because you’re a nigger.” She was SIX. And she said hearing that felt like “a huge weight lifted,” because suddenly everything made sense. Why the classrooms were empty. Why adults were screaming. Why U.S. Marshals had to escort her to school. Not because of anything she did. Just because of the color of her skin. A six-year-old child realizing an entire country was angry at her for existing.
