    I was trying to learn this song on guitar and stumbled across this video! Speaking as a mature, senior Black grandfather, I must say that watching it repeatedly I was emotionally touched ... seeing these young people exemplified the best of expectations for future generations of American youths, both Black AND White. I don't see future drug addicts, social derelicts or criminals. Instead I see future positive societal contributors, groomed to respect themselves and value each other as young men and women. I hope they ALL stay the course and prove that beauty, elegance, charm and manners will always outshine thuggery and t.h.o.t-ery!

      Aretha, I cannot add anything further to your very on point and highly accurate words. Adjectives such as "class", "elegance" in addition to terms like "self-respect" and "dignity" get far too little exposure in just about any facet of society one cares to observe these days. Ladies of Futurity, job well done!

      Etiquette needs to be taught in classroom, so that young men and women respect one another. And at end of school year, have this type of ceremony.

    This was so beautiful to watch, and to one of my favorite songs. The choreography was very elegant and classy. No booty shaking and crotch grabbing. No sagging with the underwear showing, or deep cleavage and thongs. So proud of the young lady that is the founder, as well as the young people who care enough about themselves to appreciate the mentoring. What a blessing. This brings back fond memories of my debutante days. I pray a bright, and blessed future for all of these young people. 💖
