Oprah Winfrey to Give Commencement Speech on Facebook and Instagram Since high school and college seniors probably
won't have a traditional graduation ceremony
this year because of COVID-19, Facebook is hosting a virtual event,
"#Graduation2020: Facebook and
Instagram Celebrate the Class of 2020." Deans and principals from
around the U.S. will issue
messages to their students. Celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey,
Lil Nas X, Awkwafina and more will
also address the graduates. Miley Cyrus will perform
her song, "The Climb." A virtual graduation hub in Messenger
Rooms allows the graduates to also be
able to host their own ceremony. Instagram will kick off special features for
the festivities on May 11. The actual ceremony
will take place on May 15 at 2 p.m. EST. iHeartRadio will also feature celebrity speeches
to the class of 2020 by Jimmy Fallon,
Hillary Clinton, John Legend and more.
