December is a time for the holidays, snow, and gift-giving. However, some of the nation's HBCUs also celebrate their fall graduates. This past weekend, the class of 2021 celebrated this monumental accomplishment and posted their best pictures and videos on social media to share with the world. Below are just a small group of the best and brightest this graduate season.

Some HBCU alumni who graduated this weekend have accomplished their goals despite the most challenging circumstances.

Individuals who are part of the Divine Nine also celebrated their graduation this weekend with pictures showcasing their organization and other collegiate accolades. 

Alumni celebrated their graduations with a party, a champagne toast, or even for Jalon Jackson, a brand new car. 

Future doctors are on the way providing even more representation in the field.

Lifelong dreams were accomplished over this past weekend, including Devante Johnson's childhood dream of becoming a lawyer. 

From Prairie View to Alcorn, schools across the country celebrated their new alumni.

Megan Thee Stallion, who graduated from Texas Southern University this past weekend, had flooded the timeline along with many others sharing their stunning graduation portraits. 

Despite the odds stacked against many of them, these individuals accomplished what was once considered impossible in the past. And they are inspiring future generations to aspire to obtain a higher education. 

Congratulations to the Fall Class of 2021 and all of those who graduated this winter season!
