High school graduation season is approaching next month. Some parents may be on the “Senior Video Committee” and pulling together graduation videos and music tributes for their student’s Senior Class. That said, we pulled 22 really great graduation songs by (mostly) black artists that would go perfectly with any Senior Class video tribute or graduation party. We thought this might give you a head start on choosing music for your senior video or event. Most of these songs are by black artists. We threw in some additional songs that frequently are included on the graduation music circuit; music that makes us reminisce about the joys of celebrating graduation from high school!
