A graduation ceremony at Howard University for nursing students ended in disruption and chaos after angry family members chanted "Let us in!" and pounded on the doors and broke a window after the auditorium closed after hitting capacity, according to the New York Post.Many loved ones of students in the College of Nursing and Allied Health Sciences crammed into the Cramton Auditorium in Washington, DC on Thursday. But not all relatives made it to the location in time before the doors closed.“I didn’t get to walk. I graduated magna cum laude and I didn’t even get to walk. I’m the class of 2020. I didn’t get to walk for my high school graduation and I didn’t get to walk for my college graduation.” — (@) Video footage of those standing outside the auditorium showed people yelling "Let us in! Let us in!" as the ceremony started. Not only that, but the video also shows a window that was broken after loved ones pounded on the doors to be let in. Some even tried to push past security to get inside. The Hilltop reported that Dean Gina Spivey-Brown said the college was the largest graduating CNAHS class in Howard's history. There were 280 degrees awarded. The graduation website said that Cramton was meant to accommodate about three our four guests per graduate. The auditorium is able to hold about 1,500 people, and the event was not ticketed.“Because of the size of the room, and because our relatives sometimes do not know how to act, the fire department is now here to shut us down,” Spivey-Brown said to the crowd. Keynote speaker, Dwain N. Esmond, was asked to pause his speech.One graduate, Halle Ragoonanan, said the incident was especially heartbreaking because she was unable to walk for her high school graduation in 2020 due to the pandemic.“I didn’t even get to walk,” she said. “I didn’t get to walk. I graduated magna cum laude and I didn’t even get to walk. I’m the class of 2020. I didn’t get to walk for my high school graduation and I didn’t get to walk for my college graduation.”Kalysta Henderson, a health sciences major from Riverside, California, said she was also heartbroken over the development. “I feel completely devastated, I feel blindsided. I did not know it was going to be like this. My entire family flew out here,” she said. “Howard is a very expensive school, and I have paid for it myself out of pocket and through loans just to stay here… today has just been completely devastating and heartbreaking.”Like Blaze News?

A pastor from the South Side of Chicago has spent years trying to help improve the community but said his "faith in government is very low" after seeing much of the city's resources going toward the migrant crisis. Pastor Corey Brooks, founder of Project H.O.O.D., spoke with Fox News Digital, and said: "It's been overwhelming. We already have an infrastructure that is overburdened and we already have a city that is already overtaxed. And now you're adding individuals who, for the most part, are here illegally and now we're having to carry that burden.""It's very disheartening because, for organizations like ours – we're already trying to do the work in an area that's already difficult to do, and now you're adding more people to the problem," the pastor added. "When we make our city a sanctuary city and we start allowing people to be here illegally and having to take care of them, that is going to be a problem that is overwhelming."He went on to say that the situation represents a "serious leadership flaw," adding that it is "a serious problem."The report stated:Chicago has spent nearly $300 million on the migrant crisis since 2022, including $215 million since Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson took office in May 2023. Last month, the city voted to approve an additional $70 million to go toward migrant care despite backlash from residents that illegal immigrants are being prioritized over native Chicagoans. That money is on top of a $150 million assigned to migrant aid in the budget already.Even though residents pushed back against Johnson's massive effort to help those who are here illegally, the city has played host to 40,000 migrants since August 2022. The report noted that there has been as many as 2,000 arriving to the city in a single week. The Associated Press reported last month that the city had spent more than $300 million of the city, state, and federal funds to provide housing, health care, education, and more to around 38,000 mostly southern American migrants.The report also mentioned that the development in Chicago has stirred widespread resentment among the black community. "When we make our city a sanctuary city and we start allowing people to be here illegally and having to take care of them, that is going to be a problem that is overwhelming," Brooks said. "The leadership has been taking funds from much needed areas, and they're getting a lot of flack for it.""And all of a sudden, those resources that they never had, for the homeless problems that they've already been faced with, they're now being made available," he continued. "I understand when people, from Chicago or other areas start to really question the fact that now we have these resources, and they're going toward individuals who sometimes are not even legally here, and we never had an opportunity to get those resources ourselves."Like Blaze News?

Those around in the ‘70s and ‘80s would recall the nostalgic era that provided cheaper groceries, cinema tickets, stadium passes, smoking sections in McDonald’s, and grocery clerks that helped with your shopping. Affordable gas and much more. A photo album containing scraps of Kodak moments from the ‘80s and ‘90s has been discovered, and the wholesome photos take one back to the long-gone era. They include kids playing and interacting without fear of insecurity, without phones or iPads distracting them, and much more. Mail trucks   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Grew Up in the 70’s and 80’s (@grew_up_in_the_70s_and_80s) Back then, most messages were sent via mail, unlike today, when electronic and instant messages are the order of the day. Mail trucks were also recognizable as four-wheeler blue and white vans with a red stripe.

They looked well put together, the young men in shirts or tees and the ladies in dainty dresses or skirts with blouses. Little girl outfits   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Grew Up in the 70’s and 80’s (@grew_up_in_the_70s_and_80s) Dresses for young girls were more age-friendly back then. They featured frills, floral detailing, and cute Peter Pan collars. The gowns usually had layers, giving them that puffy look, with the hem resting just below the knees. Oldies back then   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Aaron Blutman (@bloodbrainsandaliens) People’s grandparents and the elderly of today were the youngsters of the ‘70s and ‘80s. It was a time when cool fashion was in vogue, and ladies kept their makeup minimalistic but went all out with flamboyant hairstyles. Rock groups of the ‘70s and ‘80s   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Grew Up in the 70’s and 80’s (@grew_up_in_the_70s_and_80s) The Beatles were already a craze in the ‘70s; however, bands like Led Zeppelin, The Beach Boys, Black Sabbath, and Queen also owned the airwaves. An all-woman rock group named The Runaways also came together in 1975, comprising singers and instrumentalists Joan Jett, Lita Ford, Jackie Fox, Cherie Currie, Sandy West, and Michael Steele. Other female-only bands of the era include Jefferson Airplane, The Pointers Sisters, Sisters Sledge, and others.

Drive in cinema   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Grew Up in the 70’s and 80’s (@grew_up_in_the_70s_and_80s) Drive-in cinemas were common in the past, and viewers could stop by on their way to work. They were also great scenery for lovers and did not cost much. There were thousands of such theaters all over the U.S., but only about 300 still function these days. No tattoos or colored hair   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Grew Up in the 70’s and 80’s (@grew_up_in_the_70s_and_80s) Many young persons today have tattoos, extra piercings, or colored hair. However, this was not the case decades ago. Simple was in, with little modifications to the face or body. People invested more in outfits and quality shoes and bags to feel cool. Unsafe car seats   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Grew Up in the 70’s and 80’s (@grew_up_in_the_70s_and_80s) One of the many photos in the Kodak scrapbook showed a baby in a not-so-safe-looking car seat, mostly hard metal and plastic with no padding.
