Tom Hanks implores Harvard graduates to defend truth and liberty

Tom Hanks gave a keynote speech at Harvard's 372nd commencement, urging graduates to defend truth and American ideals against those who twist it for their own gain. He received an honorary doctor of arts degree and poked fun at his lack of academic credentials. Harvard also honored five others with honorary degrees, including Katalin Karikó, a biochemist whose research was essential to the development of the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna Covid vaccines, and Hugo Morales, the executive director and founder of Radio Bilingüe, the National Latino Public Radio Network.
