Lightfoot shared a poem by Jean Toomer in which she  said she learned as a fifth grader “the power and meaning of metaphor.” 
     The Mississippi,  sister of the Ganges, 
             Main artery of earth  in the western world
             Is waiting to become
             In the spirit of America,  a sacred river
             Whoever lifts up the Mississippi 
             Lifts himself and all  of America
             Whoever lifts himself
             Makes the great brown  river smile
     “On this wonderful penultimate day filled with sweet anticipation we celebrate the graduates in all their glory and urge you to get busy,” Lightfoot said. “Together, let’s make the great brown river smile.”
