That will be the largest class of African-American women to graduate together in the military academy's lengthy history, West Point spokesman Frank Demaro said. "Last year's graduating class had 27," said Demaro."And the expectation is next year's class will be even larger than this year's."Last year, the school appointed Lt. Darryl A. Williams as its first black superintendent.
It's encouraging and inspiring to see leaders graduating from the school that are from all different kinds of backgrounds and represent the diversity of the army itself," said Dowdy.West Point's graduating class is seeing diversity in other minority groups."Also, this year's class will have the highest number of female Hispanic graduates along with graduating our 5,000th female cadet since the first class of women to graduate in 1980," said Demaro.
Awesome, Ladies!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💪🏼MondayMotivation MondayMood
Legit news... though I kinda jst wish it wasn’t.. think about it incredible achievement. A big knock on societal immaturity... And rightly so. One day, I hope we all see ourselves as Americans.... and that would be enough said. Ever hear bout African-French, African Brits? Noo.
That’s awesome
Does anyone know the reason why some are wearing skirts and others are wearing pants? Is it a status thing or just a uniform choice? Just curious...
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Isn't this photo racist? How about commending ALL women

Its an abomination that after the documented history of Black people in the U.S. military that these modern day Aunt Jemimas are offering their lives to protect people who don't give a Giddamn about them. Fodder is the best they'll be.
Asians and hispanics or don’t they count. Segregation alive and well at CNN.
That’s racist. Were there any other women that graduated? If that was 34 white women, the shit would of hit the fan
Beyond Proud✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
All things being equal, where's the photo of the white women who graduated from West Point?
Congratulations to these ladies!
✊🏿
In 2019 why are you putting so much emphasis on race and sex? Shouldn't it say... west point is graduating x amount of ppl? I thought race and sex didn't matter?
So cool!
When will wonderful young women and men be recognized for their incredible accomplishments without being first identified as a certain skin color? The media constantly propagates division in this country. Bravo young Ladies!
they failed there only valeria acelerated with broken rear derailleur was finally replaced another as triggered to acelerate away from elena during another marching sensor
Congratulations to ALL the graduates! Note to libs everywhere...race and gender are your hang up, not ours. Don’t take their accomplishments and reduce them down to genetics, just give them credit for their incredible effort it took to graduate such a prestigious institution.
I hope they protect us in the next civil war that’s surely to come.
A Commanders' virtue is an inner aspect, not the color of the skin, nor the gender.
As a former Marine Corps and Navy Officer, and the youngest of 18 veterans in my extended family tree: I could not be more proud to be an American. Heartiest of congratulations.
But CNN you keep telling us the “Commander and Chief”(Trump) is a Women Hating Racist..New low... a TWOFER for facts NOT lining up with your predetermined prejudices...Congrats!!
who cares
You report everything in boxes Black, white, women or gay You don't see free individuals Slaves are treated this way SundayThoughts SundayMotivation BBCWorld cnni realDonaldTrump latimes nytimes FoxNews NBCNews CBSNews MSNBC
Just wondering how many times you’re going to post this...
Black American. Not African American. The issue is not Roots. The issue is mis-Education Cuz nobody was ever born a Slave. And EVOLVED HumanBeings get it🔴 📌Stop promoting ignorance & tribalism🔴 GetWoke Journalism Africa
Proud of anyone who serves our country. Kudos to these brave women.
👍💪👏👏
Clap clap clap Now do Asians
Thank you president Trump, president of ALL America.
Show your love for trump by taking the second amendment challenge
Proud of all of you Congratulations God Bless
No congrats to these fine military women grom trump nor Whitehouse I did 👀 see trump tweet he will be on state run fox media earlier today so he had time to tweet them. Mayne trump will invite to WH !!!!
To honor them, we need to get our coward “Puppet in Chief” and Russian asset out of the White House.
i really love this 🥰 what a great achievement ,nice way to tackle racism .
So? Why do we, oops the left wing media have to continue to point out race? Laughable.....
Only a anti American, communist sympathizer would believe or espouse that Atty. Gen. WIlliam Barr is corrupt, o in any way not honest. Such, would include alleged journalists, bureaucrats or politicians
People categorized by color? Racism!
Wow! That's one accomplished group of young women!
I’m surprised that CNN isn’t playing this as the military just recruited more slaves to fight there dirty wars.
Virtue signaling. Please stop. You’re the biggest divisive part of America.
All Officers should wear stripes before bars. Get down and dirty and see what life is like in the dark. ODA
Outstanding. A great career awaits you and your leadership ladies. ✊🏽🇺🇸
Wonderful examples of the human race! Congratulations!
