“There were huge protests against Condoleza Rice(black woman)for speaking at the Rutgers graduation.”
Not sure why she was invited. She was the worst National Security Advisor in history and one of the worse Secretaries of State. Before then she had ghostwritten the infamous “Chicken Kiev” speech for the first Bush. I don’t know what she could say that would be of interest to anyone. She had a decent record as a university administrator, but since when to second rank administrators at universities become commencement speakers? The Republicans like to showcase her because she is a black woman, something quite scarce among Republican party leaders. Rutgers eventually got former Gov. Tom Kean to speak. He was a successful governor and would have been worth hearing.
