The Huffington Post is reporting a heartwarming story about a father and son who are slated to graduate from Morehouse College on Sunday, after spending three years together on campus.
The younger Joyner and his father, Dorian Joyner Sr., will both be graduating from Morehouse College this Sunday after spending three years together on campus. President Barack Obama will be speaking at the ceremony.
